Updating our Blog - News and a general update

Good morning. Becca's Gourmet Goodies had a VERY busy summer and fall. As we are starting to head into the winter we wanted to provide some updates starting with our blog. Beginning in December we will be much more active on this blog as well as on our Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/BeccasGourmetGoodies).  The blog is going to be utilized for more detailed posts about what we are doing and where things are heading with us. We will also be doing some updated tips and recipes as well as providing more detailed order information.

We are actively working with a great website designer who is doing a complete website overhaul for us. We have spent a lot of time working on product development and it is time to upgrade our website to reflect Becca's Gourmet Goodies.

We also are moving forward on another project that we hope will give us a much larger variety of options. Once we finish crossing our t's and dotting our i's we will provide more details!
