The Toad & The Butterfly, a Blog

Three fast ways to use every last bit of your Fat Toad Farm Caramel Sauce...plus simple jar reuses.

A few years ago I realized that my crew was missing out. The way that we purchase produce and milk is different and cool and my crew should know about that. Also, the way that we purchase our core ingredients wouldn’t be possible if my hard working crew weren’t willing to put in the extra elbow grease and process it all.

We have three totally new microbatch hot sauces this month. They have only existed in our brains prior to their creation. And they are just yummy.

At Fat Toad Farm, we spend hours gently hand-stirring fresh Vermont goat’s milk until it transforms into something unforgettable: rich, creamy, small-batch caramel made the slow way, just like it’s been done for generations.

From our farms to your spoons, it matters what the goats eat.

"Have you seen Food and Wine?!"

That was the opening line of the phone call I got as I had just finished setting up our booth at our first New York Fancy Food Show. I was tired and sweaty and definitely hadn't seen Food and Wine.

It took us years of option weighing and experimenting to figure out how to move away from plastic shipping materials.
