Welcome to Bee Tree Farm

It began with the natural evolution of two hobbies—bee keeping and cooking—that transformed Will and Carole Vogeley’s home love into today’s popular retail, wholesale, and mail-order business. Their ingredients for success included the philosophy of using pure, all-natural, farm-grown New Hampshire ingredients in their products whenever possible. This ensures Bee Tree products have the highest quality and the best taste!

The Bouchard Family Farm is committed to bringing to the general public the delicious, versatile and nutritional benefits of our mixes.

For generations the Bouchard Family has been milling a unique light buckwheat flour in order to prepare “Ployes” (rhymes with boys).  A recipe based on the one created by the French Acadian exiles who settled in Northern Maine, Ployes are as elegant as a fine crepe, as hearty as a breakfast pancake and as versatile as any bread. Ployes are creating their own identity. From appetizers to main course to desserts and snacks, they keep finding new ways to make meals interesting. We invite you to try a product rich in taste and history.  “C’est Magnifique!”

Conant Custom Brass
Working Wonders with
Metal & Light since 1979

Conant Custom Brass was founded in 1979 by Stephen Conant, then a 23-year-old kid with a passion for metalwork and a college degree to back it up. From a small brick garage illuminated by two fluorescent shop lights, Steve soon established a reputation as a preeminent craftsman with a knack for restoration and custom metalwork.

Now that kid is 50 years old, and the one-man shop he established has grown to occupy 18,000 square feet, employ 25 talented and dedicated workers, and house a store full of treasures, including some 3,000 lights, old and new.

Today Conant Custom Brass Inc. is recognized internationally by architects, designers, and discriminating consumers as a creative force working wonders with metal and light. We provide a complete line of brass-related services, including antique restoration and repair and the fabrication of custom hardware and light fixtures. The scale of our work ranges from one-of-a-kind pieces to production runs of thousands for such retailers as Gardener’s Supply and Smith & Hawkin.

We stand behind our Mission Statement and our commitment to quality. All metal products crafted by Conant Custom Brass are guaranteed for life, with the expectation that these products will eventually become cherished antiques! We will repair or replace, free of charge, any product found to be defective in materials or workmanship.

The IWBTC Story
Wood Ties Created by Sculptor Marv Beloff*

Frustrated, I was frustrated!

I like plaid, striped, colorful shirts with solid navy or camel sport jackets for every day wear. Tiresome solid white or blue shirts
go to parties.

I wanted a solid, basic bow tie to wear with my favorite shirts.
I used to have some, but my wife threw them away years ago.
I shopped! Few bows and no solids. I went to antique and consignment shops, hip department stores and forward thinking, creative retailers. Nothing, nada, zero! I'm a wood sculptor. At about the same time I was carving a story board of family figures from a piece of North Carolina yellow pine, it suddenly seemed to light up everywhere with bow ties, like a throbbing pinball machine. The marvelous grain I was working on, looked like bow ties? Furiously, with mallet and chisel flying, the first wooden bow tie
was born.

A piece of cross-grain ribbon with Velcro positive and negative ends was attached. I slipped the ends around my plaid shirt collar, and pressed the Velcro tabs together. My search was ended!
The following day I wore the tie when hosting my local Cox Cable TV interview show. It was a hit! I made more. I added a flare
or changed the design until there were four incarnations that
pleased me.

At a charity auction I provided two wooden bow ties. They were quickly bid up to $300.00 each. This activity was repeated a few times. When there were about ten active wooden bow tie enthusiasts it was decided to establish the International Wooden Bow Tie Club.

Small wooden bow tie pins called "splinter group" were created for spouses. Trips to the theater, Essex CT. Railroad Dinner Train, New Orleans and others were organized. A SAP (Self Appointed President) happened. We were off and running! Appropriate plastic coated membership cards were printed and a web site established.

We're excited! What fun we're having! We proudly wear our ties and feel as though we belong to a very exclusive, artistic club. A wooden bow tie will evoke admiration from family and friends. It will fascinate strangers and arouse envy! I hand sculpt each individually. No two will be exactly alike.

*Marv is an active sculptor member of the Society of Connecticut Sculptors and has had exhibits this year including the Lyme Art Association in Old Lyme, CT.

Welcome to King David Coffee Roasters.

We are a small coffee micro roasting company located in Nashua, New Hampshire. Our specialty coffee represent the top 6% of the coffee crop. We fresh roast our gourmet coffees and passover coffee to order and promptly ship to our customers. We offer our coffee both wholesale and retail.

Coffees Are Not Created Equally!

Your senses tell you that different coffees do not taste the same. Taste and aroma, are different. Why? The characteristics of coffee are the result of many variables. The particular botanical strain of the coffee plant, the local growing conditions and cultivation techniques.

Only about 6% of the coffee grown is of such a superior quality that qualifies as specialty coffee. These “cream of the crop” beans are essential to a micro roaster to bring you the best possible cup of coffee.

Once we obtain the best examples of coffee from specific areas around the world, we fresh roast each type of coffee in a specific way. This allows each coffee to reach its maximum potential and enables its specific characteristics to be enjoyed.

We roast our coffee in small batches using a traditional gas fired drum roaster. Different techniques are used during the roasting for specific coffees. As the roasting nears its end, it progresses from light to a dark brown color. Lighter roasts have more subtle, varietals specific characteristics. As the coffee beans become darker, these characteristics are more obscured and finally replaced by stronger tasting, caramelized sugar elements.

“Soap is to the Body,
What Laughter is to the Soul”
—Yiddish Proverb

2006 and 2007 Blue Ribbon Winner
Topsfield Fair Soap Division!

My name is Sandra Guy, owner and creator of Merrimack Valley Essentials Handmade Soaps and All Natural Body Products. I began my soap making adventure in 2003 after having a dream that I was making soap, and my daughter was making lip butters. This dream was strikingly odd yet, very realistic. At the time, I was between jobs and I knew that the job I was getting ready to start would mean a cut in pay. I knew that I would have to do something to make ends meet. As a single mom of two, the idea of working multiple jobs would also mean increased childcare costs and less time at home with my children. I began to think of the possibility
of doing something from home. I began to research the various processes involved with making soap and natural skin care products. I have always been a believer of kitchen pharmacy and natural remedies. I graduated from a Cosmetology program in 1988. Therefore, I have an educated understanding of the skin, hair and nails. I then went to college for graphic design. Yes, I create all of my own marketing materials, product labels and design my own website. For a number of years I have been employed providing Safety, Health and Environment as well as Quality Control for food and chemical manufacturers therefore I have had the opportunity to learn a lot about ingredients and their properties. I feel that by starting my own soaping business I have tied my educational
and work experience together to form a complete and fulfilling experience. I greatly enjoy making new products and my goal
is to produce them with the most top quality beneficial properties possible, at a price anyone can afford!

My products are created with the most natural ingredients available including goats milk, honey, beeswax, plant and vegetable oils such as aloe vera, olive oil, and hemp oil. I have also added many natural exfoliants to my products as well, fruit and plant seeds or leaves, pumice, loofah, oatmeal, cornmeal, flax seed and wheat germ.

The Richard's Sauces Story

Welcome to Vermont Made Richard's Sauces! We are a married couple of 35 years, high school sweethearts living in St. Albans, Vermont—the same town we were born and raised in. We purchased this great Richard's Sauces business from Martha's brother, Richard Jr. Richard, always the entrepreneur, came up with the first sauce recipe in 1991, producing and bottling the sauce in his home town of St. Albans, Vermont. He began marketing on a very small scale to local friends and restaurants in Vermont. As he saw the interest grow, he began introducing Richard's Sauces through large food shows. Truly a Success!

With the strong desire to see this family recipe continue, we purchased Richard's Sauces, with Richard still very active in making the sauce—made and bottled as always in St. Albans, Vermont. Still a great recipe, now even more available! VT Made Richard's Sauces are award-winning, all natural, gourmet barbecue sauces, game sauces and marinades. Our secret family recipes use only quality ingredients, earning the Vermont Seal of Quality. All of Richard's sauces and marinades are no fat and no cholesterol, and our Game Sauce and Chicken Marinade are very low in carbohydrates, sugar and sodium. We know one taste will bring you back for more. And our customers tell us so!

We pride ourselves on our quick shipping, lowest shipping costs possible and of course, a quality product that you can enjoy and serve with pride. We are truly a family business, our Grandson Justin heading up production while assuring every batch is made with pride and accuracy, our son Jason and daughter in law Cathie delivering Richard's Sauces to local grocery stores and our granddaughter Breanne joining us at summer events and festivals as we greet old customers and meet new customers.

Thanks for visiting and buying Richard's Sauces!
