Congrats to the four North Carolina companies named finalists in the second annual Good Food Awards. Escazu Artisan Chocolates in Raleigh (where I cannot believe I haven’t been yet!), Counter Culture Coffee in Durham, Miss Jenny’s Pickles in Kernersville, and Farmers’ Daughter Brand (aka April McGreger) in Hillsborough. April is also a star of the Carrboro Farmers’ Market.
The winners will be announced Jan. 13. Good luck, all. Make us proud! (Though we already are.)
While we’re at it, a big shout-out to John Vollmer of Vollmer Farms for being named Farmer of the Year by the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association.
Woo-hoo all!
