Local Artisan Food Producers near Post, TX (25)

Two of the many great things that came out of the kitchen of Riley’s Hideaway are the cookie tours and the kolaches. The Cookie Tour is a set of cookies with different flavors. It is ingenious actually, since you are excited to sample each cookie flavor you don't get sated easily. It is not just eating or snacking, but a journey, an exploration. Each unique taste takes you somewhere with its flavor and aroma. Imagine having slice each of Chocolate Babka, Lemon Blueberry Welsh Cake, Hazelberry Linzer, Stroopwafel, Lemon Olive Oil Cake, Apricot Rugelach, and Chocolate Dulce de Leche Cookie. I dare you to stop eating. Riley’s Hideaway also makes kolaches. These are Czech pastries with fruit or cheese at the center (some flavors they've made recently include Cream cheese, Peach, Poppyseed, and Blueberry Cheesecake).    

Right now, there isn't a lot Farmer Matt’s Food Co. is selling. But whatever they produce from a process they describe as artisanal alchemy, it is surely a great product. Take for example the Fermented Pepper Condiment. Farmer Matt’s Food Co. takes pride in the fact that they make a hot sauce using a thorough fermentation process, naturally and artistically fermented in small batches. No vinegar. No sugar. 100% yummy. Maybe it is because the spice is made from the very peppers used to make the sauce. Farmer Matt’s Food Co. describes their Fermented Pepper Condiment as "the perfect blend of habanero and jalapeño peppers, garlic, and hibiscus flowers." Not only that, but they are also using their own special secret spices. If you want a bottle, you can visit Wolfforth Farmers Market every Saturday or order online.

He started High Adventure Sweets so that he has money to pay for Boy Scout High Adventure trips and equipment. Smart. Enterprising. Confident. Optimistic. He has a lot of positive qualities that I'm sure will be nurtured by his Boy Scout experiences, so I say support him and buy his banana bread and apple bread because these taste great! With his natural gift of making great-tasting bread, I hope that soon, High Adventure Sweets is not just a means to an end but a labor of love and a full-time passion.
