Looking Back on 2021
Another year has passed… I know we can’t believe it! Especially with how tumultuous the past 2 years have been, one year feels like 10.
Here’s a look at what happened for Nomad in 2021
We gave away a wedding!
We launched a canned cocktail
We employed 26 local people!!
We hired a full-time chef
We supported 20+ local businesses
We participated in 90 off-site events
You could find us at two local farmer’s markets
We put in a new kitchen
Launched our own Bloody Mary Mix
Brunched 36 times
Did countless property improvements
Hosted 7 sold out Harvest Dinners
Began booking weddings
Launched a line of Nomad Eats - Pickles, Pecans, Pretzels, Chili Crunch & Pickled Onions
Brought back our seasonal fave Naughty Nog and sold over 1,000 bottles of it
and most importantly…
We stayed opened. We paid the bills. While that’s not something the majority of businesses might share with you, we are SO proud of ourselves for accomplishing something that is not a guarantee. Over the past two years there are varying reports saying that anywhere from 30-47% of American small businesses have permanently closed due to covid. We are beyond grateful for those who supported our Pennsylvania business this year and aided in keeping us out of those ranks.
As we head into this new year, remember, supporting local is not just for the holidays. It’s something that everyone should be considering each and every time they are making purchases. Our ‘best’ month ever was April 2020 when state liquor stores shut down. What does that tell you? Remember the businesses that are the foundation of your community. The ones that provided what you needed when others didn’t. Those businesses need you to keep showing up, not simply returning to the “easier”, “cheaper” options.
This is our family… if you haven’t met us yet, we are Sarah, Frank, Finn & Ryan. Along with our amazing team we are here working to bring you the same quality products & events along with some new in 2022! Thank you truly for your support of these Nomads!
