In recent years, friends and family have been enjoying Nano's cooking by the pint-full, with delighted comments and sometimes funny stories coming back. One friend left hers on the kitchen counter, only to return soon after to find just the empty jar and a spoon! So, feeling sorry for her friend, Nano then gave her 'two' jars... with the suggestion that one of them be hidden safely in her car. Well, you might guess what happened next. Yup, Frank found both of them... and they were done for.. both in the same day!
Encouraged by these experiences, Nano decided to try her hand at marketing, and 'Mama Nano's debuted on July 15th, 2001 at the Kelso farmer's market..... and as the saying goes.. the rest is 'history'.
