 
Back in 1984, we were next-door neighbors raising our families in the
little town of Delaware, Ohio. Two moms with small children, we were
looking for a way to do what we loved and stay home with the kids too.
We had always shared a love of home cooking and making memories with
family & friends and so, after many a conversation over the backyard
fence, Gooseberry Patch was born.
We put together our first catalog at our kitchen tables, enlisting the
help of our loved ones wherever we could. From that very first
mailing, we found an immediate connection with many of our customers
and it wasn’t long before we began receiving letters, photos and
recipes from these new friends. In 1992, we put together our very
first cookbook, compiled from hundreds of these recipes and, the rest,
as they say, is history.
Hard to believe it’s been over 25 years since those kitchen-table
days! From that original little Gooseberry Patch family, we’ve grown
to include an amazing group of creative folks who love cooking,
decorating and creating as much as we do. Today, we’re best known for
our homestyle, family-friendly cookbooks, now recognized as national
bestsellers.
One thing’s for sure, we couldn’t have done it without our friends all
across the country. Each year, we’re honored to turn thousands of your
recipes into our collectible cookbooks. Our hope is that each book
captures the stories and heart of all of you who have shared with us.
Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or are just
discovering us, welcome to the Gooseberry Patch family!
