Forte Chocolates, based in Mount Vernon, WA, is owned by award winning Chocolatier Karen L. Neugebauer. We invite you to experience luxury artisan chocolates and caramels crafted the old fashion way; by hand. Here at Forte, we believe that in order to fully appreciate the flavor and texture of a fine confection, it should look as extraordinary as it tastes. This devotion to artistic presentation and attention to detail can be readily seen in all of our work. Every piece is masterfully crafted by hand to produce a unique work of art with its own personality, something that is painfully lacking in manufactured chocolates. The beauty of presentation is carried through to the end with the exquisite hand-packaging of all our confections in gorgeous gift and favor boxes that are as sure to please the recipient as the chocolates found within.
Welcome to Blue Stilly Coffee Roasters, a unique artisan coffee roasting company located in northern Snohomish County. We have been providing customers and friends the finest coffees the world has to offer for over 14 years. Our trademark is delivering fresh coffee, roasted the day before and delivered fresh to your door. We offer a varied selection of traditional beans and many Organic and Fair Trade Coffees. Relationships with small co-op farmers and brokers allow us to purchase quality coffees from small estates. Blue Stilly Coffee cannot be found in your local grocery store. Unlike coffee lingering for weeks or even months on a shelf, Blue Stilly delivers an honest pound of fresh roasted coffee to your door for a reasonable price. The delivery area ranges from Bellingham to I-90. Stop by and see us in Booth 331 and taste the difference.
