Collection: Best Sellers

We're always fascinated to know ourselves! The gourmet specialty foods market is a crowded one indeed and our goal has always been to sift through the clutter and offer you only the best to choose from. Then it's our customers who determine what our best selling products will be.

And it's fun to see which items rise to the top! Southern Grits and Sweet & Spicy Pecans are no surprise, given our Arkansas roots. But a Negroni Gift bundle? That's just cocktail trendiness for you. Well, that plus our bundling acumen. This gift includes a terrific book, artisan bitters, negroni-perfect glasses, and dried orange slice garnish. Food gift baskets or bundles like this, built around a trending taste or flavor, are reliable hits, and appealingly ready-to-give.

Of course, seasonality and holidays play a role as well when it comes to best-selling foods, homeware, and items for the home bar. In the fall, our cider jelly pops up, and come holiday time our Arkansas Peppered Hams fly out the door. ginger baby cookies merrily parade out our door all December long.

As more and more of us want to cook, eat, and live a more locally sourced and sustainable life, we've found that small-batch and hand-made goods sell well, and word-of-mouth keeps people coming back for repeat purchases. Our Key Lime Cookies are a case in point.

• The fun of best seller lists is that they constantly change. So come by and see what's selling this month, and then check back again soon to see what specialty foods are winning the popularity contest. It's an indicator of what's hot, and what's good.
