Come Rain or Shine...

HI FRIENDS!

Welcome back to CMQFCHQ (Cave-Momma's Quest & Feral Child Headquarters)!

It has been a hot minute since I have posted an update on this blog AND since my sisters (Chrystal & Jodi) have been to the Down To Earth Farmer's Market in Nederland, Tx. 

Well, I'm happy to inform you that the girls will be at the market TOMORROW (3/21/15)!

The girls were hoping for nicer weather to return to, but hey, what can you do when Mother Nature decides her flowers need some last minute rain?

You suck it up & have the farmer's market indoors, that's what!

It's not a big deal, really, because you know, it has rained before. :P

Anyway, we are so excited that spring is around the corner! 

I don't know about the rest of you allergy sufferers, but I know that now (since Spring is literally in the air) is the most critical time for me to "amp up" my game on my bone broth & natural, raw honey intake. 

Speaking of which, Chrystal (Cave-Momma) wanted me to remind ya'll of the importance of natural, homemade chicken broth and the health benefits of consuming it daily.

• Bone broth contains valuable minerals (calcium, glucosamine, silicon, magnesium) in a form your body can easily absorb & use. 
• The gelatin found in bone broth attracts & holds digestive juices, supporting proper digestion.
• Consuming broth daily inhibits infection caused by cold & flu viruses & fights inflammation.

You can make your very own bone broth by googling a recipe or you can skip the lengthy process (flavorful broth takes roughly 24 hours to make) & order some from Cave-Momma's Quest & Feral Child tomorrow, Saturday, Mar. 21st at the market...or online now to pick up next weekend. ;)

I, by no means, am a morning person & neither are my two sisters.

But I hope (for your sake) that you make it out there because Jodi (Feral Child) has a special "snacky surprise" this weekend! 

How does Lemon-Poppyseed Paleo Bread grab you?

In other news, 

• Cave-Momma's Quest & Feral Child have been asked to cater a wedding reception this weekend! Their dear friend, Desiree, is throwing a 40's themed reception Saturday night in an airport hanger! They are delighted and honored to have been asked in the first place. (If you are interested in hiring them to cater an event you can email Chrystal at CaveMommasQuest@gmail.com )
• In May, Feral Child & I will have the pleasure of serving food to the Crossfit Competitors & their guests in Pleasure Island, TX.

Weeks 4-6 : Change Is In The Air

Hey Everyone!
Welcome back to the Cave-Momma's Quest & Feral Child Headquarters' (CMQFCHQ) BLOG!

January was a wonderful, productive month for the girls.
They did an amazing job at keeping up with the demand for their products...even though it wasn't easy.
With more and more orders coming in daily, the girls started to see the potential for growth in this business.
The order form that I implemented at the beginning of the year, has given us amazing feedback.

We've learned that MOST EVERYONE is interested in:

• A Buyer's Club (where we sell breakfasts, lunches, & dinners in a meal plan).
• Seeing a CMQFCHQ Food Truck in MidCounty/Jefferson County, Tx
• Participating in Educational Food Classes.
• Sharing CMQFCHQ with their friends & family
• Bookmarking the order form for quicker/easier access to REAL food
• Enrolling in the email list to stay up-to-date with CMQFCHQ in the future.

After receiving all of that input, we are seriously racking our brains at coming up with some wonderful new ventures for the future. Nothing is set in stone, but no one can stop us from dreaming. :)

I, Jessi, got an opportunity to assist my sisters, Cave-Momma & Feral Child at the Down To Earth Farmer's Market on Saturday (Jan. 24th) and it was SO refreshing to see the wonderful response from their customers. Everyone seems to enjoy their orders and keep coming back weekly for more.
Chrystal & Jodi love what they do and it really shows in the final product.

HOWEVER, in it's place is Feral Child's NEW Date Bars for $1/each!

If interested in ordering the Chocolate Raspberry Date Bars or any of C.M.Q.F.C.'s products you can do so by clicking the following link: http://goo.gl/forms/D60zqgDZGA

People are RAVING about these little babies!
In the last 3 days, we've received orders for up to 36 date bars! WOWZA!

Feral Child also creates her legendary Oh.Oh.Mayo that is seriously So.So.Goooood!! 

There is JUST SOOOO MUCH THAT I AM ITCHING TO TELL YOU GUYS!

I've been sworn to secrecy, though, until all of the wrinkles are ironed out.

I guess it's, at least, safe for me to say this: the girls (CM & FC) are very close to making this food business a full-time enterprise. We are working on branding & brainstorming, so PLEASE STAY TUNED & KEEP CHECKING BACK HERE WEEKLY!

If you're in Nederland,TX tomorrow, Saturday, Feb. 7, 2015, head over to the Down To Earth Farmer's Market to support your local businesses & enjoy the wonderful weather!

IF YOU'RE NOWHERE NEAR NEDERLAND, TX TOMORROW:

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE! Thank you for reading & have a wonderful weekend!

Peace, Love & Real Food,

Week 2 Review

What an awesome week the girls have had! I tell you, hhhhhhwhat!
As previously mentioned in last week's blog: Cave-Momma & Feral Child attended the Down To Earth Farmer's Market last Saturday. Though the temperature had suddenly dropped & they couldn't have it outside, they still had plenty of people that came out to see them & make it worth their while.

Last Tuesday, Cave-Momma was a busy little bee:
She had to work her regular 9-5 job, stop by & ship some goodies to our cousin, Cne' (Alvin, Tx), & our dear friend, Jamie (Houston, Tx);  & drop off some pre-orders to her MidCounty followers.

Cne' had some beautiful words to share & it's on the side of this blog, along with some praise from some of their other SWEET-AS-CAN-BE customers under the "Our Customers Showing Us Love" section.

Jamie loved her order SO MUCH, she instagrammed about it:

(THANK YOU, JAMIE & CNE'!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU!)

With the new addition of the Online Order Form, we've seen an increase in demand for the girls' products.

We're learning so much!
We learned, for example, that ALL EXCEPT 1 of our clients is interested in being "kept in the loop"! :)

As for EVERYONE ELSE who is interested... when you fill out the online order form & say either "yes, absolutely OR um, I guess", I have been adding you to the email list.

You will then need to:

1. Open the email to "complete the subscription process"
2. Click the link in that particular email & boom...you're done.

After that, every time that Cave-Momma, Feral Child or I updates THIS BLOG, you will be notified via email.

Let's say you're not interested in ordering something right now, but you ARE interested in signing up for the email list? That's easy, just look to the side of the blog for that little section to add your email address. And then follow steps 1 thru 2.

OH YEAAAA, speaking of new products & info,  I CAN'T FORGET TO TELL YOU:

Warning: The afore mentioned mayo, has been known to turn mayo-haters into mayo-lovers.

"Heaven in my mouth" is an accurate statement referring to the granola, Jamie. I concur.

Peace, Love, and REAL FOOD,

I'm not a good blogger....

Attention: I may be a fantastic attentive facebooker (much to my own dismay, sometimes), but I'm no blogger. I forget it exists, I don't think I have enough worth saying, and sometimes, I just have the attention span of a gnat. So. When my sister, Jessi, decided it needed to be kept up with, she also volunteered to be the one that keeps up with it! Jodi (Feral Child), and myself have taken Jessi on as our CMQ/FC HQ office executive, bookkeeper, bloggess, as well as generally keeping us in line. She's phenomenal, and thanks to her help, drive, and fortitude, our first official FORMAL week of sales was nothing short of amazing!! The order form is easy, concrete, and makes keeping our production numbers that much more accurate! I just wanted to post this as a thank you to her. We love you, so very much, Jess! And we couldn't be more thankful for all you've already done!! Sorry, friends, she's all ours!!! 😘😘😘
