In an uncertain year, a family set out to challenge themselves and create something unique. The brother and sister duo of John Massey and Kathy Sanders, along with their spouses and adult children, wanted to keep active after their retirements, and during the restrictions from Covid-19, so they went back to work. With experience in food manufacturing, healthcare, education, and non-profits, they create a line of healthy, organic, sugar-free, and delicious vinaigrettes.
In the last year, they have launched a company, developed five flavorful vinaigrettes, gone through the process to become USDA certified organic, and opened their commercial kitchen. Their vinaigrettes flavors include Raspberry Wine, Lemon Mustard, Classic Red Wine, Balsamic Italian, and Haute Pepper. In the future, they are looking to diversify and offer up gift packages, marinades, and sugar-free cocktail mixes.
Currently, you can purchase their marinades at www.ThirdCoastOrganicFoods.com. However, please keep your eyes open as you might find them at local grocers and farmer’s markets in the future.
