Get To Know Us
We are a family owned and operated business and a mother/daughter team: Sharon Woolmington along with her 2 daughters, Rebecca Hahn and Jessica Woolmington. Together, we have a passion for hospitality and delicious food. This began for us around our family dining room tables with mothers, grandmothers, and aunts who all loved serving family and friends at small Sunday suppers as well as large holiday gatherings. No one was too small to put on an apron and roll out dough or peel potatoes. This has now extended outward to include cooking for both our local community as well as those visiting the area with year round catering and delicious, memorable meals.
We are always asked: are we local? Sharon has lived in Buena Vista for almost 50 years after marrying Bob, who was born and raised here. Also, Jessica and Rebecca were both born here and grew up on our cattle ranch in B.V. After they both spent a few years away at college and then later in food service in Texas and Colorado, they are both now back home, loving cooking in these mountains we call home.
