WinsomeForge Gourmet Chocolate Business

For those who'd like to know about yet another food home business, WinsomeForge Inc. rules the gourmet chocolate home business field. Their products include unique gourment chocolate such as Granite Gourmet and Sweetcoast Sweetshells (see image on the left) which are great for retailing or as corporate gifts and marketing promotions.

Richard and Bette Jo Menzel, the owners, are not only having the time of their lives running a profitable home based business, they also contribute to their community.

The award-winning, candy-coated milk chocolate snacks are a salute to the state's granite composition and the region's miles of picturesque coastline. They are the hallmark items offered by Winsome Forge LLC, a 9-month-old business based out of the couple's Washington Street home, where they've lived for 20 years.

The "Granite Gourmet" product was recently awarded New Hampshire Magazine's "Best of 2007" editor's pick award for an edible souvenir. Of the tiny granite-looking pieces, the magazine notes its staff likes "to scoop them in with a shovel."

"It's an ambassador-type gift," Richard said. "Other than maple syrup, there's no food product that represents New Hampshire like this does."

How often do we get to find home businesses that become sources of unique state products that may eventually support the economy of their home states?
