Interview with JC’s Cookies and More
The Main Street Farmers’ Market is blessed to have so many talented and hardworking merchants. And with the all the shoppers keeping everyone busy, its not always possible to get to know all the merchants in one visit. Jill McKeever caught a moment between shoppers to talk to Lisa of JC’s Cookies and More to find out more about her delicious baked goods.
INTERVIEW
Lisa: My name is Lisa and this is JC’s Cookies and More, the business is named after my dad. We make fresh cookies. Everything’s homemade from scratch. I’ve been baking for as long as I can remember. I’ve only been operating JC’s Cookies and More for about a year now.
Jill: What all do you bake?
Lisa: We have four different kinds of cookies. We bake three different kinds of brownies; cheesecake brownie, peanut butter brownie and Almond Joy brownie. We bake homemade banana breads, banana carrot, banana strawberry, some lemon breads. And last but not least, we make homemade, from scratch, dog cookies and treats.
Everything is baked just before we come out. It’s all homemade like I said, from scratch. We have a lot of different samples for people to try when they come out.
Jill: What’s your best seller?
Lisa: Our best seller is the chocolate chip cookie. However, once people get a taste of the oatmeal raisin with cranberry, they come back every week just to buy the oatmeal raisin with cranberry.
Of course our dog cookies, too. Our peanut butter and cheese dog cookies are REALLY popular.
Jill: Awesome. Oh your website? Is there a way for us to buy online?
Lisa: Yes there is, you can go to www.jcscookies.com and you can buy everything that we have at the Main Street Farmers’ Market online. We’re here every Saturday at the Main Street Farmers’ Market except for Canton weekend. We’re at Canton.
Jill: When is Canton weekend?
Lisa: First Monday of every month. We’re out at first Monday’s. Otherwise we’re out here, so you can get the same thing every week or you can order online and we’ll deliver it out here at the Main Street Farmers’ Market.
We, also, make gift baskets for the cookies. When you come here and try our samples, talk to us. You can get a postcard that offers free shipping. You can order online and we will ship cookie baskets or brownie baskets for FREE for the FIRST ORDER.
During the holidays, we sell a harvest bread basket that comes with loaf of pumpkin bread, and a loaf of cranberry bread.
Jill: Thank you, Lisa. I appreciate you taking the time to talk with us. You’re a talented baker. I see a wave of shoppers have come to load up on the cookies. I’ll let you get back to work. Have fun!
Lisa: Thank you, Jill.
We picked up Lisa’s Molasses Cookies & Peanut Butter cookies –
OH MAN! Were they DELICIOUS!
I didn’t think I would actually eat the whole cookie; they’re about 5-inches in diameter! After I ate mine, I started eyeing Charlie’s cookie. It was hard not to pinch it.
