| | | JC’s Gourmet"A couple from Texas made a special stop at the Seaside Farmers Market on their way to Jacksonville to get 4 Somethin' Snappy dips! We told her about our Poppin' Pimento cheese and she bought 3 of those! She kept a lid from the dip for more than 5 years, so that when she was here again, she would be sure to get the right one. That's true Snappy love! She was a hoot, very nice lady... Overall an excellent day. Our customers were glad to see us and vice versa!" - Lisa Holloway | |
