How do you and your mother work together to keep your business thriving? As family, we recognize the potential pitfalls of being mother and daughter. However, we put on our Antelope Creek Farm hats when we work and leave the family stuff out. We have fun and believe in the product. We enjoy food shows, when we are in touch with our customer base. Customers appreciate that when they call the 800 number or send an email that they get me, not just a salesperson. From the business side, we are researchers. We may move a little slow on decisions, but by doing our homework, we have been able to partner and network with very successful food businesses. Mirror what you want to be. We have used many of our local resources, such as the Job Training Center in Red Bluff, American River Packaging, the work training center and Pacific Sun olive oil. By staying as local as possible, we feel we are contributing to our economy and sustainability. What is your philosophy? Keep it simple and delicious, only three all-natural ingredients. Most important is to satisfy our customers by providing a personal touch. What is the secret to creating delicious sauces? We’ll only tell a few thousand of our closest friends! Be true to your ingredients. Don’t compromise for a cheaper ingredient. No color additives or preservatives. It is really that secret of the cooking time that makes the difference. This product is not infused flavors – the flavors are cooked in. Which is your favorite dressing or sauce, and what is your favorite way to enjoy it? If I listen to my customers, it is pomegranate and pear. Personally, I love the pear arugula salad recipe on our website. Sauteeing the red pears until caramelized… yum. Serve on arugula with a wedge of blue cheese. What does the future hold for Antelope Creek Farm? We just exhibited our product at the winter Fancy Food Show in San Francisco. We had a tremendous amount of interest. From that launch, we are planning on getting products to the Midwest and East Coast. We will continue to be involved in local events and food shows to maintain that touch with our customers. • www.antelopecreekfarm.com
