Liz's Artisan Manifesto

  • Bake everything from scratch.
  • No fillers, flavorings, or shortcuts.
  • Simple ingredients from socially responsible sources.
  • Accept nothing less than perfection.

Simple Ingredients

Artisan cookies don't contain chemicals, additives, fillers, flavorings, or preservatives. Surprisingly, most natural cookies contain stabilizers, gums, or other non-traditional ingredients that you would never use at home. Liz Lovely uses only simple ingredients found on the shelf, or from the bulk bin, of your local natural market. It's Liz's innovative recipes and baking techniques that make our cookies great.

Two Things We Do Not Bake

Seasonally, we purchase "naked" vegan Oreo®-style cookies and organic pretzels from a distributor. We coat both products in organic chocolate here at the bakery. It's not the core of our business, it's just fun. That said, we are mindful to choose products that we feel good about from the persepctive of ingredients and the manufacturer's commitment to quality and social responsibility.

Buy Artisan, Keep it Real

Food provides nourishment on levels both physical and emotional. It's the center-piece of our holidays and special events. You can see, taste, and feel the attention to detail that dedicated food artisans bring to their work. The culture of artisanal food in Vermont has enriched our lives immensely. We hope our handmade artisan cookies enrich your life and make you feel healthy and happy.
