Good Morning/Afternoon everyone,

As we approach our 10th anniversary on October 1st, we haven taken time to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve shared with you. Over the years, we’ve continuously adapted to better serve the community, and its unwavering support has allowed us to reach this milestone. For that, we are truly grateful.

After careful consideration, we’ve made the decision to focus exclusively on our custom catering services. While we will no longer be offering lunch service, we are excited to concentrate all of our energy and resources on providing exceptional catering for events in Oskaloosa and the surrounding area.

Thank you for your loyalty over the past 10 years. We are thrilled to continue serving you in this new chapter and look forward to helping you celebrate life’s special moments.

Thank you,
Kyle, Errin, and Amanda
