Some of the headlining selections will be the Iron Rooster’s signature “roostarts”, an oversized take on the classic poptart along with the infamous Café de Gallo coffee from Rise Up Coffee Roasters. A large eye-catching display of gourmet jams, jellies, and pickled goods from McCutcheon’s will peak your interest in how this vast selection of items was all started in 1938 when the McCutcheons decided to start their family business with a $25 apple press. Fisher’s Popcorn is also sold here, a favorite treat that was started on the Boardwalk in Ocean City, MD.
