JAVA & Co.

Over the past weeks we have been featuring Heights Farm Market vendors - allowing you, our customers insight into who they are, what they do and identifying why they are such an asset to our local Heights Farm Market.

This week, we are showcasing JAVA & Co. Small Batch Recipes!

Owners: Brian and Jamie Knoll

Local Items: Coffee infused syrups, hand cut biscotti, artisan caramels, pancake mix, oatmeal, JAVA Spice, snack bars, saucey caramel, handcrafted gift crates and espresso powder!

Vendor Information: JAVA & Co. is brought to you by a husband and wife team with an extensive background in the hospitality, food and restaurant business. Leaving New York City and Las Vegas for a change of pace, brought them to Illinois. After a few years of 'quiet living', the hospitality and food business began calling to them. In 2008, JAVA & Co. was born.

JAVA & Co. creates chef-inspired coffee infused specialties. Handmade utilizing proprietary small batch recipes with fine ingredients like real vanilla and hand cracked eggs in the hand cut biscotti; locally roasted coffee beans in the syrups; freshly ground whole spices and coffee in the sweet and savory JAVA Spice; and dairy cream and butter in their artisan caramels.

In their short time in business, they have received national recognition and have been featured by Country Living Magazine, Time Out New York, Daily Candy and many more!

“Food brings people together. When we were in the restaurant business, it was like throwing a party every night. Brian and I so enjoyed being a part of that energy! That passion remains…it is woven into and has become an integral part of JAVA & Co.

Where there is food, there IS a party. Where there is good food and someone to share it with, time can stand still and that is how memories are made.”

As you may know, for the 2011 Heights Farm Market season, JAVA & Co. has been attending Wednesday markets on and off throughout the season. As a husband and wife team that handles all aspects of their small business - kitchen production, packaging, public relations, marketing and sales on their own, this is the reality of owning and operating a small business. These specialty local businesses add such a wonderful mix of products to the Heights Farm Market - we are glad to have them as a vendor!
