Local Farm Wives Sell Homemade Noodles in Washington
Mary Burroughs and Christie Miller run a small noodle business from Washington County farms. They produce Mary and Christies Homemade Egg Noodles weekly, delivering 50 to 60 cellophane wrapped packages to local stores. The venture began four years ago as a hobby and now serves several grocers, with partnerships shifting from Mary’s early partner to Miller after two years. They note modest profits after costs, and recall a past kitchen fire without major damage.

Organic options like zineb maneb ferbam thiram and Karathane are safe on edible crops up to 10 days before harvest. captan may be applied near harvest.
