Sweet Nuthouse - Nuts
Steve & Heidi Adams Sweet Nuthouse (301)498-9423	Life is filled with special moments worth celebratingÖÖÖÖ..birthdays, weddings, holidays, office parties & dinner parties can all be times filled with our sweet nuts. Each occasion is a reminder of how sweet and nutty life can be. Our customers appreciate the fact that all of our products are made without preservatives or artificial ingredients. When people ask us what the shelf life of our products is, our answer simply has to be that we donít know, mostly because they usually donít last more than a day or two after you get them home. Sometimes, they are eaten before our customers get to their cars and they come back for more! At the heart of our business is our insistence on freshness rather than shelf life. We specialize in small batch production and we donít warehouse our product. It is quite likely that the nuts that you buy at the Market are just a day away or sometimes, even hours away from the time that they were made. In fact, we are happiest when we run out of nuts at the end of the day because it means that we have calculated our sales to the point that our nuts are at the peak of freshness when you purchase them.
