Hamper Winners from Bloom

A huge thank you to the nearly 2,000 people who sampled our Stem Ginger and Choc Mocha cookies last weekend in the scorching sunshine at Bloom in the Park. We were overwhelmed by the positive response to both cookies and will be announcing the winning cookie shortly (so stay tuned).
