Meet Our Vendor: One Fork Farm Caramels

We are excited to have One Fork Farm Caramels join us this year!   Gotta love farm owners that turn into caramel makers right?

Where does your passion for food come from?

Years ago, I worked at a small Oregon winery that had an amazing chef and who sourced everything locally, long before “local” was a buzzword. The quality of her ingredients and dishes left such a lasting impression on me, it launched me onto a path of growing food and cooking with a true appreciation of sourcing locally.

Where do you source your ingredients?

Since I live in Oregon’s Willamette Valley…that’s where most of my ingredients come from. All of the honey, cream and butter in my caramels come from surrounding farms. My sea salt is harvested off the Oregon Coast, and my other flavorings, including chocolate, chai, and spirits, all come from Portland.

Tell us about a new product you are working on

We’ll be concocting a dairy-free caramel after the new year. It’s something we’ve wanted to offer for a long time, but only providing that it would be a stand-alone good caramel…not just something thrown together for the sake of having that option. We’re on it!

What will our fans find at your booth this fall?

This is our first year at an Urban Craft Uprising event and we couldn’t be more excited! We’ll be bringing along all of our caramel flavors, all of which are made with honey and never corn syrup…our current flavors include Wildflower Honey, Vanilla Bean, Coffee Rum Horchata, Velvet Chocolate, and Spiced Chai.

 

What’s the best part of your job?

The best thing about what I do is that I get to meet and talk to so many different people, from all walks of life. A big part of my job is simply interacting with new people at markets and events and in my shop. It’s so great to get to know people beyond simply being a customer.
