Daughter, Wife, Mother, Baker

Mary's story is one of triumph. Raised in a strict household, married at 16, and the mother of five children, she had no formal business training. Yet one rule of business she knew instinctively - do what you know. Mary knew how to bake bread. And not just ordinary bread, but a most delicious and versatile Portuguese sweet bread that sells itself with just one taste.

Sample, Please

Thank goodness common sense prevailed and on Saturday vendors at the Stonington Farmers Market were once again able to give out free samples of their products, such as cheese, salsa and bread.

A week earlier the town sanitarian had banned the practice, concerned that it violated state health rules. While well intentioned, the prohibition was a case of overzealous government regulation. Last week the market manager, the sanitarian and First Selectman William Brown met and worked out a protocol to allow the return of the samples.

Bon appetit.
