Up in Mt. Kisco, north of New York City in what is known to New Yorkers as "Upstate" is an amazing shop where all the proceeds from your purchases go to charity, the employees are earning decent wages, apprentices are being given the tools to make a living in a respected and fulfilling profession, and perhaps best of all, the products are top-notch, high-quality and beyond delicious.
So what is this amazing place I am referring to? It is none other than Connie's Bakery and General Store, the brainchild of Connie Milstein, philanthropist and real estate broker. At Connie's Bakery every purchase you make goes towards either an organization or an individual who is in need of a helping hand. Enjoy such luscious treats as homemade brownies, old-fashioned cookies, ginger snaps, lemon coolers and much, much more.
And not only is your money going to great causes, but all the ingredients are healthy and wholesome, like your grandma used to use. And whenever possible the ingredients are purchased from local farms, and other supplies from local businesses, upholding the philosophy of keeping business in the community to support and strengthen the community in which one lives, works and learns.
Connie's Bakery, one of the many successful endeavors of Connie Milstein, is a treat in so many different and important ways. Come visit and see what we mean.
