While they don&#8217;t have their own website and are primarily a local\/tourist business, they will take phone orders (501-624-2190) and ship across the U.S. I can attest to the scrumptiousness of 10 varieties of their handmade fudges (not primal; so sue me). And once again, the owners of this business are supporters of the blog and have helped big-time in dog rescue.\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another long-time reader and supporter has a farm-supply store. But I don&#8217;t know whether he does, or wants to do, business beyond his local area. (If you do, R, just speak up!)<\/p>\n<p><strong>And of course there is <i>no<\/i> bigger supporter of this blog than <i>Backwoods Home<\/i> magazine.<\/strong> Which has, among other things, a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/store\/files\/generalstore.html\" target=\"_blank\">general store<\/a>. Without BHM, this blog wouldn&#8217;t exist, so lordy me, BHM deserves our support and business.<\/p>\n<p>Although old friend of liberty <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Katherine_Albrecht\" target=\"_blank\">Katherine Albrecht<\/a> doesn&#8217;t own <a href=\"https:\/\/startpage.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">the privacy-enhancing StartPage search engine<\/a>, she represents the company. Aside from the huge privacy benefits, using StartPage or its European affiliate <a href=\"https:\/\/ixquick.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ixquick.com<\/a> gives a vote of confidence to Katherine.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t want to leave anybody out!
