Gracies was started in 1985
by Grace Frey. The idea came as a brain wave to supply the bakery
shop she had been working in before she married her farmer husband.
From those small beginnings, Gracie's has grown into the renowned cookie
maker it is today. Grace and her staff of 30 people are still
'hand-making' the cookies she is now famous for.
Over thirty kinds of cookies
are made each year. The finest of ingredients combined with the
highest standards in quality control creates a product that consistently
meets the customer's expectations year after year. For many people
the Christmas traditions would not be complete without an assortment of
these cookies on their kitchen table.
Today the majority of
Gracie's Christmas Cookies are sold at the St.Jacob's Farmers market in
"St. Jacob's Country" just outside of Waterloo, Ontario. The rest of
the cookies are sold at Craft Shows at various centers throughout south
western, Ontario. Many customers visit these shows and markets for
the sole purpose of picking up their yearly supply of Gracie's Christmas
Cookies. |
