Our Last Norwich Farmers’ Market
We were lucky to earn an occasional spot at the Norwich Farmers’ Markets over the past couple of years. It’s an outstanding market, with high standards and eager local shoppers. But — bittersweet — this upcoming indoor winter market on March 9 will be our last. Why? Because we have made our last batch of Yummy Yammy in Vermont, and like most markets the Norwich Market requires vendors to grow or produce your product around here. And next time it …

From Yam Lover to Yampreneur
We live in an area full of interesting people doing fascinating things, whether as part of their work, hobby or passion. Rooted in the belief that everyone has a story to share, Valley Voices at the Norwich Public Library provides a forum to meet some of these people and hear their stories. I am delighted to be the speaker kicking off the library’s second Valley Voices season. I will talk about Yummy Yammy’s recent Kickstarter Campaign and how I have gone from loving …

Yummy Yammy Sweet Potato Dips in Jars on the Shelf or in Tubs in the Cooler?
Which way are you more likely to buy Yummy Yammy to enjoy weekly? *** in its current 12 oz glass jars on the grocery shelf? OR *** in smaller and cheaper 8 oz refrigerated tubs in the hummus coolers? Please share your comment. Thank you! Yammily yours, Lisa Johnson, Yambassador, Yummy Yammy If you are the type to want more details, here you go: * The cost would probably be more like $5.99 or $6.99 for an 8-ish-ounce tub (currently …

King Arthur Bakery’s New Yummy Yammy Sammy

It’s a baguette sandwich with Jasper Hill’s clothbound Cabot Cheddar, and a poached pear. Our Lemon Ginger Dip adds just the right touch! The sandwich is available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. You pick it up at the bakery counter, right next to all the sweet treats for after …
Video Race: What Would YOU Do to Get YOUR Yummy Yammy?
I love movies. So I made a little funny movie about Yummy Yammy. If you make one on the theme of “What YOU Would Do to Get YOUR Yummy Yammy,” and post it on YouTube and then on here, I will send the first five either an apron or a t-shirt, your choice. Obviously, it has to be in reasonable taste, and I am going to boot any videos I don’t think are appropriate. You only get the prize if I …

How I Started Yummy Yammy
People ask me all the time why I started this business. Here you go: My Uncle Dan was the reason I tried that single can of yams my mother bought every year for him at Thanksgiving. He was the sweetest man you ever met – a dangerously sweet man – I mean, he asked me if I sang “Good Morning, Dear Teacher” to my first grade teacher every morning, and he meant it. But he fed the squirrels and was …

Revealed: Why Your Yams Might Taste No Yam Good
Hey, all. Knowing that you are probably all up at night worrying about this, here is why, if you are a person who buys, cooks, and eats sweet potatoes, the quality has not been very good for the past couple of weeks. Sweet potatoes are harvested in the south (Louisiana to NC) from early/mid August til about now. When first harvested, they are called “green” sweet potatoes, meaning they have not yet been cured (they look the same on the …

New Surprising Sweet Potato Crop Means No More Lemon Ginger
A sweet potato is a sweet potato, right? Not so. We just got our first delivery of this year’s new yam crop, and it made me sing, then curse. Sweet potatoes are tubers that are harvested in July/August (depending on how far north or south you are) and stored successfully all year long, retaining nutrition, color, and quality for many months. Last year’s crop was compromised by weather stressors, so supplies were somewhat skimpy. But most of all, the tubers …
Behind the Scenes of Entrepreneurville
People are often amazed at how “fast” Yummy Yammy has come into existence. To me, it sometimes seems excruciatingly slow. How long have people been asking me to add new flavors like the Coconut Curry Lime Sauce? The Hot Tex-Mex? I can’t wait to get to these and about another 96 products, and then get them out to the nation. Want to know what I’ve been doing instead? (Hint: it’s not organizing my photos or sailing to Bermuda.) What I’ve …
