RE: Byrd's Bakery: One Cookie at a Time

in Market Fridaylast year

Thank you!! I will ask @lizelle for her best recipe! Hertzogkoekie sounds almost Dutch? Apricot jam? And meringue! I am totally in!

The shops are still run family style, that is the fifth generation owning it, since the 1750s I really admire that kind of dedication and family working together to create lives.

Thanks, again, Joan! @joanstewart

True wealth normally starts from small beginnings keeping it in a family, always wonderful to hear of families able to run the same business over decades like this. 😇

I never thought about it that way, but you are so right. It is so wonderful to watch it blossom into a legacy.

Have a beautiful Sunday, Joan!

Most our Mom and Pop home stores have been swallowed up by big corporate, very few join together to still try, alas last two years did wipe a lot out as well.

Happy Sunday!

That is so sad, yet the same here. It took a lot out, but, people have a new appreciation for them and it seems we have new pop-ups trying to make a go of it. I know I try to support these places. I wish them the best.

Perhaps the younger generation will grow new entrepreneurial businesses, sadly some of the older crafts will disappear. Time will tell....
