Are you hosting a gathering in your home? Maybe you've been invited to a friend's home
and are looking for an appropriate hostess gift. A potluck, reunion, or other celebration
may be marked on the calendar, or perhaps you are looking for a tasty gift for a birthday,
anniversary, house-warming, or other event. Whatever the occasion, Village Sampler
has fine food items to meet your needs.
We are pleased to offer salsas, spreads, sauces, cheeseball mixes, and more all through
the year. In the summer, you'll also find refreshing iced beverage mixes while wintertime
brings hearty soup mixes and hot chocolates to our shelves.
We bring our selection of foods to you from around the country. We'd like to introduce you
to some of the producers and what they feature.
Robert Rothschild Farm
It has been nearly 30 years since Robert & Sara Rothschild decided to
seek a better environment for raising ~ and spending time with ~ their
children. Their search led them to Urbana, Ohio, where they established
a 170 acre working farm from which all of their gourmet food products are
produced. Their products have won over 50 awards and are known for
their incredible flavor and exceptional quality.
At the Robert
Rothschild web site, you'll find delicious recipes to try for
your family or a gathering with friends.
Village Sampler is pleased to offer salsas, dips, cheese balls, mustards,
jams, and gourmet pretzels from this fine company.
Wind & Willow
When you think of a cheeseball, you may think of two or three soft
cheese blended and rolled in nuts to serve with crackers. Wind & Willow
just might change your mental picture of this party staple!
The variety of cheeseball mixes that Wind & Willow offers will have
your mouth watering while you ponder your choices! There are savory
cheeseballs like the BLT, Garden Vegetable, or Garlic Herb. For a little
spice, try the Chili Pepper or Old Santa Fe. Looking for something sweeter?
How about Caramel Apple or Chocolate Fudge served with vanilla wafers?
Not only do these mixes make
great cheeseballs, but there are recipes on the back for including them in
other sensational dishes. Check out their
web site
for sample recipes.
If you tried Wind & Willow's soup mixes last year, you know that they are the
answer for a simple meal that is also delicious and hearty. Try pairing them with
the newest Wind & Willow product . . .
Bread mixes from Wind & Willow are a new taste at Village Sampler this fall.
You'll find easy-to-make breads for hearty additions to your family meals or for entertaining.
The hardest part? Just like the cheeseballs and soups, it will be making a choice from
among the delicious options!
Door County Coffee
There's nothing like the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Enjoy a cup any time with
a pouch of Door County Gourmet Coffee, a small family-owned business with exacting
standards for roasting coffee.
Not only is a steaming mug of coffee a great way to start your day, these attractive
foil pouches are a perfect touch to tuck into a gift basket or to present as a thank you with a note.
Mary Lake Thompson
Beverages from Mary Lake-Thompson are a treat for the eyes as well as the palate. These iced tea
and lemonade mixes come in fabric bags with original artwork on the front. They are just the right
addition to a gift package. Pair them with flour sack towels, also designed by Mary, for the perfect
hostess gift, housewarming, or other special occasion. Don't miss out on brightening up your own
kitchen with them as well.
Gourmet Village
No matter the season, when you've been working or playing outdoors, it's great
to come inside for a refreshing beverage. Beverage packets from Gourmet Village
are quick and easy to prepare.
Cool weather favorites include hot chocolates with delicious flavors like Irish Cream
or Double Chocolate. On warmer days, enjoy fruit flavored iced teas. With flavors of
raspberry, kiwi lime, peach, and lemon, you'll find one to please every palatte.
Is it a beverage . . . or a dessert?? We'll let you be the judge with peaches & cream or
strawberry & banana smoothies and rich iced cappuccinos.
