Owned by: Brock and Terry Nelson
Located: Virginia Beach, VA
What year did you go into business?
We went into business in 2007 and were awarded Virginia's Finest in 2009.
What year did you begin at the WFM?
The market manager saw our products and invited us to show them at the 2008 holiday market. We continued to be a part of the WFM ever since.
Of all of the products you sell, which is the customer's favorite?
In our classic line of cakes, the customers favorite is the Rum cake for holidays and gift giving, but the pound cake is the consistent favorite year round. We have customers come from other states to purchase them at the WFM.
What is your favorite thing about the Williamsburg Farmers Market?The fellowships and friendships we have developed over the past four and a half years with our customers is one of our favorite things about the market. Also the joy we experience weekly with the children who regularly and joyfully come to select one of their favorite cupcakes. Some even save their coins during the week to pick out their treat on Saturday.
In the years that you have participated in the WFM, what is the biggest change?
The biggest change we have noticed is the status of the market having achieved natural recognition. We often have customers from other areas who tell us they had heard of WFM and wanted to work a visit in with their vacation to Williamsburg. We are so grateful for the exceptional management of this market.
