Hickory Farms Review
I was offered an amazing opportunity to review Hickory Farms products via an in home party. :) Before this, I had never even tried anything from them. I was not sure what to expect, however, I was looking forward to all the goodies I was going to receive for this review. :)
When the packages arrived for my party, I was pleasantly surprised at how nicely they were arranged and the wonderful array of yumminess.
On the day of my party, I sliced up the scrumptious assortment of meats and cheeses, along with fresh fruit and crackers. I made my platters and made sure everything was fabulous for my party. As I sliced away, I was taste testing the goodies…all I can say is YUM! Everything was delightful and really really delicious! The cheese…oh my…heavenly. The Gouda, cheddar and Parmesan herb blend were my favorites. However, I loved all of the cheeses and meats. I was even taken aback by the sheer yum factor of the sauces! The cranberry mustard was awesome–all of them were very tasty…Oh, and the FRUIT. WOW! It was really good. Succulent. Sweet. Perfect.
Kudos to my sweet teenage daughter who made the little toothpick flags using the wrappers (see pic above) to show guests what each cheese and meat were so there was no guessing.
Oh, and my little one was quite helpful as well with the … er… taste testing! ;)
When the guests arrived they were delighted to see all of the yummy goodness before them and dug right in. It was not long before there was nothing but empty platters and full tummies before me.
Everyone had a fabulous time eating all of the delicious food, and they were all as impressed as I was by how good everything was. :) I also made sure to set aside a free treat for everyone to take home to enjoy!
Like I mentioned earlier, before this opportunity, I never had Hickory Farms. I am happy to say that after trying all of the wonderful assortments they sent me, I will be making them a part of my holiday tradition and giving it as gifts as well! Now that I know how good they are, I am certain anyone who tries them will find something to love about their super tasty treats!
If you have never tried Hickory Farms, I highly recommend that you do! :) You can find all of their products at their website here, and be sure to like them on Facebook as well.
I wanted to include some photos from my party…As you can see, we had such a good time at the party (see pic on left) and everyone enjoyed the food.
And, below, you can see the credits to my “photo director” and the oh so fun “hamming it up” hubbies that make every event memorable! ;)
On a side note: I have even thought of how I can use the nice boxes the products came in. I will be using them for Christmas gifts. Yes, you can plainly see that NOTHING went to waste! LOL!
Below is some information on the fabulous Hickory Farms company as well as some product information I thought you may be interested in!
