With the start of the fall season, Brittanie’s Thyme will now be at the market every Saturday till the first of the year.
As many of you know, Brittanie’s Thyme became USDA Certified this summer and with this many doors are opening in our favor. One is Whole Foods Markets in the Michigan region. This event has called me to travel for awhile to help set up 3 MI stores and possibly 8 other stores, so Julia Snyder has offered to work with me and be at Sweetwater offering Brittanie’s Thyme. She will have all the items you have seen in previous months as well her own.
We are so happy to have her knowledge, understanding of our products and who we are. We want all our customer’s to know that we will always be reachable via email (www.info@brittaniesthyme.com) or by phone at 616-788-8224 if you have questions or concerns. Thank you so much Julia for helping us remain a steady part of Sweetwater!
