Don’t miss this special merchant at Saturday’s Market
The name of this Saturday's featured vendor might sound like an ordinary business at first: CFBacon, Inc. But once you learn what those initials stand for, Chocolate Freaking Bacon, you know you're in for something special.
For the past two decades, CFBacon, owned and operated by Jennifer McCormack and her family, has built a loyal following across the country with two unforgettable specialties: Chocolate Covered Bacon and Bacon Steak on a Stick.
This Saturday, Farmington Farmers Market visitors will have the chance to experience these unique creations for themselves.
"We travel to festivals, markets, and special events across the country," says Jennifer, a chocolatier with 39 years of experience. "Our goal is to create one-of-a-kind bacon treats that people remember long after the event is over."
Based in Linden, Michigan, just south of Flint, Jennifer transformed an unusual idea into a nationally recognized business.
"We've traveled to events in 26 states, from Maine to Texas," she says. "People are always surprised the first time they hear about chocolate-covered bacon, but once they try it, they understand why it's become our signature product."
CFBacon is truly a family business. Jennifer's three adult children, their spouses, and even her six grandchildren all pitch in to help at festivals and events throughout the year.
"My oldest grandson, Brantley, who's 13, has become an incredible salesman," Jennifer says.
"He's worked many festivals, including her largest event, The Maine Lobster Festival, where he started grilling our Bacon Steak on a Stick last year. Watching customers take that first bite and seeing their reactions is one of my favorite parts of what we do."
Stop by the Farmington Farmers Market this Saturday to meet Jennifer and her family, hear the story behind Chocolate Freaking Bacon, and discover why their sweet-and-savory creations have become a favorite with customers across the country.
Student Entrepreneur Noah James’ repurposed crayons.
Repurposing crayons in a creative way
This Saturday we’re introducing Noah James, LOC Credit Union’s next winner of the Farmington Student Entrepreneur Contest.
“No Games Crayon Creations,” Noah’s novel way of repurposing crayons, will be on sale at the Farmington Farmers Market this Saturday, July 11.
Noah is an 11-year-old student from Hillside Elementary School. The future carpenter loves Legos, reading, running and soccer. His idea to remodel used crayons started from a mini-society project he did. Not only does he enjoy seeing how the finished product turns out, but he also loves seeing how other children enjoy the crayons.
Look for Noah's booth at this Saturday’s Market and support this eager Farmington student entrepreneur!
