The PB elves have been working diligently to pack up orders and get them out the door within 1 business day. They may be going little nuts, but it comes with this job. They do understand that amidst all the craziness that 2020 has brought to us all, we also have a lot to be thankful for.
Turning our attention to all that we can be grateful for every day really does help us to stay positive and better deal with the curveball 2020 has delivered. We are in this together and will get to the light at the end of the tunnel (hopefully, there is a jar of PB sitting there as well!).
Saratoga Peanut Butter Company wants to send a big THANK YOU to all of our customers, new and old, that have supported us this Holiday season and throughout the year. We couldn’t do it without all of YOU.
We have continued to pride ourselves on shipping out fresh products daily from our upstate NY facility. Our ingredients are all sourced from the USA and we use only top quality dried fruits, chocolates, and nuts and seeds. Small batch production ensures that each jar arrives to you as fresh as it gets!
We wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday season. Yes, this year looks different, but take comfort in the fact that we can and will persevere!
***Also, we have noticed that the Post Office has been running a little slower on deliveries with COVID-19 and the busy Holiday Season, so if you want to make sure an order arrives before Christmas, we recommend ordering as soon as possible! We are shipping out next day, but delays in delivery with the Post Office are out of our control.
To celebrate the season, we created a list of our favorite peanut butter holiday treats! Plus, thanks to a bit of that holiday magic, these recipes are healthier versions of the classics we all love.
