It's a challenge working during a pandemic. But, f

It's a challenge working during a pandemic. But, for the most part, not much has changed. It's harder to source some ingredients and there have been some unforseen delays. We have to use our space more thoughtfully and strategically. Events have been cancelled and everything takes more planning and effort.
.
But on the bright side, I tried some new things. I taught a virtual cooking lesson (@algonquincollegess). I participated in a wildly successful online craft market (@cheerfullymade). I leveled up my online store and added a whole work day to deal with packing and organizing orders, which is a whole new branch of my business.
.
Mostly I'm very happy to have this business to keep me focused during a hard time, to keep my hands busy and stay connected with my community through food. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting my little business.

🙏🏼Thank you for the social media follows, likes, and shares, reviews, online orders and for supporting our retailers that remain open. It means a lot!

A little update:
🚚We are delivering local orders Mondays and Thursdays and shipping out of town orders with @canadapostagram. Online order pickups can be scheduled at our Canotek location or my home in Centretown.
.
📦We are also involved in a new grocery pick up and delivery service by @buchipop called #BurrowShop. Check their page for details.
.
🌈I'll be sharing updates from our retailers as they come. Many of our retailers now offer Top Shelf Preserves in their online shop or delivery service. Check out @potandpantry613 @s2sgeneralstore @jacobsonsottawa @workshopandflock @littlejoberrys @herbspicebank
.
🧤Covid-19 and physical distancing challenges and affects us all in unique and intimate ways. It's a lot to process and has been kind of overwhelming. Yet during this time we are also seeing highly creative solutions deployed by businesses and citizens trying to have a helpful impact. There's a feeling of cooperation that is grounding and heartwarming amidst the upheaval.
.
💓I'm grateful for the opportunity to continue to serve my customers. It's a privilege to be able to go into work and maintain some sense of normalcy. I resumed production last week after a three week pause. Of course I am taking this day-by-day, making sure to limit exposure to other people and taking recommended precautions.
.
For now I'm focused on production and orders. I have been quiet on social media but customers have been sharing content like never before! 🥰 I even made a new story highlight called "in the wild" of customers posting our products and it's already full 💗 check out all our story highlights while you're at it!
.
Missing everyone!
