Beattie's Distillers
 |
Spirits |
Beattie’s was born out of five generations of farm-crafted experience. It all started with our great-grandfather Roland Beattie, who came over from Scotland in 1876. From the very beginning, he instilled the core values the family & business live by to this day: Work hard, love what you do and give back to your community. Today, Beattie’s Farms & Distillers is led by Ken Beattie and a passionate team of family, farmers and distillery staff that all wake up every morning with one simple ambition: Make the world’s best tasting spirits. |

Tom & Jenny's
 |
Candy |
Tom & Jenny met in college, founded a non-profit together, and got married years later. In her first years as a dentist, Dr. Jenny saw her patients struggle with sugar-free or low-carb candies and snacks that tasted awful, failed to satisfy cravings, and were packed with artificial ingredients. As someone with a serious sweet tooth herself, she could sympathize. So Jenny set out to create candy she could feel good about sharing, right from her own kitchen. With her husband Tom, she cooked countless test batches to create the perfect combination of flavors and ingredients that work for a keto-friendly, low-carb, low-sugar lifestyle! Along the way they found their first mentor Chef Michael Laiskonis, a recipient of the James Beard Foundation Outstanding Pastry Chef award and twice named one of the '10 Best Pastry Chefs in America.' Today, Tom & Jenny have graduated from the home kitchen to a large scale manufacturing facility. They are enjoying growing their family business along with their two small daughters, in Durham, NC. |

Cox Sauce BBQ Sauce
 |
Sauces |
The original Cox Sauce BBQ Sauce recipe was created by Chicken Legend and Bojangles' cofounder, Jack Z. Fulk. Passed down for 3 generations, the Cox family has been raising pigs and chickens for decades, tracing their NC family farming roots back to the 1700s. It is the third generation to combine these family legacies and present a product with a proven poultry pedigree that continues the chicken tradition. |
