Tour Group Information
The First Tour
In 1990, our daughter Mona gave the first organized tour of our bakery to her son Jed’s kindergarten class. We never made a concentrated effort to publicize these tours, but word of mouth proved to be a very powerful advertising tool. Now, over 22 years later, news of our bakery tours has spread far and wide. Last year over 8,000 school children and over 6,000 senior citizens, local and national tour groups visited our bakery.

A typical tour lasts around one hour and every tour is a personally customized experience. In school tours, we incorporate mathematics,
economics, writing and history. We visit “Grandma’s Kitchen” (equipped with a wood stove, an antique cupboard and table, rolling pin, cookie cutters and pans). We also highlight our warehouse, the “Secret Recipe” mixing room, the shipping and boxing area, our packing room and the office. Most fascinating to all is our baking area, where everyone gets to watch our "Artists in Aprons” hand-rolling and hand-cutting our cookies. A sample of one of our six different flavors is given at each “station”. The major emphasis of every tour is stressing the importance of how honesty and hard work are the essential building blocks to success (whether it be in business or
school work). We have heard from many parents how a tour of our bakery was a very positive influence on their child’s school performance.
