Once upon a time, a quirky food wizardess and a sweet treat maven met under the oddest of circumstances and became friends. It was not long before they realized that they each felt a similar yearning to brighten the world through food.

And after several stops, starts, and u-turns, (like any good adventure), Sweet Pea Kitchen came to life. Given the state of the world, they decided the best place to begin was with sweet treats and other goodies that conjure up mouth-watering moments of anticipation (like waiting for the timer to ding, when the cookies are looking and smelling just right) and even childlike freedom (go ahead and lick all the frosting off of the carrot cake! It's yours!). So, twice a week, Sweet Pea Kitchen’s makers and bakers create tummy tempting deliciousness in small batches with traditional ingredients and make them available in their magical farm stand (magical because it pops up just where we need it and then stores away when we don't). 

Wherever possible we use local, sustainable, and/or organic ingredients, coupled with time tested traditional methods. Sweets, treats, and other goodness for your table can be pre-ordered or accessed online or at our Farm Stand. 

At Sweet Pea Kitchen, we know that balance is a critical component of health and happiness, so it won't be long until we are also including Savory Goodies to balance the Sweet, and offer the best of both worlds. Also, keep your eyes open for our quirky, but delicious, goodies for people who have temperamental tummies, food intolerances, or chronic ailments that discourage eating grain and/or sugar. (Right now the big hit is almond flour chocolate chip cookies!!)

Stay tuned! How? Even magical things happen on Social Media, so find our pages and follow us so you know when you can stop by and what taste-tempting goodies will be waiting. @sweetpea_makes (Instagram)  Sweet Pea Kitchen (Facebook)

Jar Exchange

At Sweet Pea Kitchen we have a dream, (we have several actually)... but this dream, in particular, is all about cute and efficient ways to do good for our bodies and do good for the planet. So we've created a tasty food jar exchange!

What's that? And how does it work?

First and foremost, we love jars!!  We love baking in jars, storing in jars, canning, and fermenting in jars. Jars are awesome. Why? Because they're cute and easy to seal and they keep food fresh. But mostly, because they also keep plastic out of our landfills!! 

We are committed to sustainability and trying to avoid packaging that contributes to our landfills. So, you guessed it, most of our goodies, whether sweet or savory, are packaged in jars. As such we include a small deposit for the jars (sort of like a milk bottle deposit but not). Don’t worry, you can get your deposit back, one of two ways; return the empty jar with the label still on or participate in our jar exchange and keep filling em up with goodies for your table. 

Personally, we like the idea of 'keep filling em up with goodies for your table".  Ultimately, we'd love to have a CSJ program (Community Supported Jars), where you can count on a certain number and sizes of jars filled with sweet and savory goodness, helping you keep tasty meals and treats on your table in and in your pantry. We will keep you posted on that one.
