Bear and Roo Candle Co. was created in 2006 when Michael and Tia Molinar made 150 Spanish Melon candles for their wedding. They are 100% soy wax, a sustainable and clean burning wax that creates less soot.  They use high-quality oils and cotton wicks. There are over 30 scents to choose from. Bear and Roo Candle Co. also sells wax melts and room sprays. Each batch made by hand and with love! https://bearandroocandleco.com/

Doubleside Toffee Company is an online candy company that handcrafts chocolate-covered almond toffee, toffee popcorn, and savory almonds. Founded in 2017 by Janessa Sullivan after ten years of perfecting the recipe, she ensures that these gourmet, gluten-free treats taste good and do good through donations to local, faith-based non-profits. Our goal is to make a difference in others' lives and the community around us. https://www.doublesidetoffee.com/

Dulce Soap Co. consists of a variety of cold-process soap bars made with high-quality fragrance oils or essential oils. They are colored with clays or micas, depending on its usage and customer. I also make whipped body butters that melt on the skin. I named my company Dulce Soap Co. because people always wanted to take a bite from my soaps! They look like cake and candy-like treats. Dulce means “sweet” in Spanish, and my products are hopefully appealing to all of your senses! http://dulcesoapco.com/

Lost Buddy Original Dry Rub was perfected over four generations of family and friends. Sprinkle liberally over heartier cuts of meat (pork shoulder, steaks, chicken, loins, etc.) and marinate for 45 minutes at room temperature. For more delicate meat, such as shrimp, fish or beef filets, sprinkle liberally but marinate for 10 minutes. For vegetables, sprinkle like salt and pepper. Our dry rub can be used to enhance pickles, popcorn, Bloody Mary, or even fruit. https://lostbuddyspices.com/

The Calm Care Kit sold by Homemade by Heather contains four plant-based remedies for aiding the body and mind. This collection includes salve, tea, lip balm and sachet. Rub a small amount of Calm Salve onto temples and wrists for anxiety.  For sleeplessness, apply some to the bottom of the feet. Try the organic, non-GMO Elderberry Syrup to boost against respiratory viruses. Keep a bottle in the refrigerator, enjoying a tablespoon each day. If exposed to the flu, increase consumption to four times a day. Facebook @homemadebyhb

One of our most popular styles at Tusculum Brewing Company is our Berliner Weiss. We try to change up the fruit in this beer every time we make it to keep things fun and interesting. We always use the same base beer but the fruit is always evolving! The pictured beer is our cranberry Berliner that we released just before Thanksgiving called “Talk Turkey to Me.” In addition to this Berliner we also currently have a mango Berliner and a tangerine Berliner on tap.
