millionaire’s shortbread (click for larger view, you won’t regret it)

We are very excited to announce that two of our top favorite sweets are now available in two of our top favorite South Austin food stores- you can now get original flapjacks and millionaire’s shortbread at Thom’s Market on Barton Springs Road, and Farm to Market Grocery on South Congress. These are wonderful independent food stores that support local artisan businesses like ours, offering hope to all of us who have had enough of megasupermarket culture and support the rise of human-scale shops with human-friendly products and produce.

Thom’s Market is owned by Bill and Beth Thom, who once took their kids out of school for a year to sail around the world- how cool is that?! Here’s the Austin Chronicle’s great and enthusiastic piece about them. And here is a lovely write-up of Farm to Market, owned by Peggy McCoy, in Edible Austin- which also kindly mentions us on their front page at the moment.

As not everyone in Austin has even heard of flapjacks or millionaire’s shortbread yet, please do share the news with your South Congress area-loving friends. The campaign continues…
