Our Story

Back in 1984, we were next-door neighbors raising our families in the little town of Delaware, Ohio. We were two moms with small children looking for a way to do what we loved and stay home with the kids too. We shared a love of home cooking and making memories with family & friends. After many a conversation over the backyard fence, Gooseberry Patch was born.

We put together the first catalog & cookbooks at our kitchen tables and packed boxes from the basement, enlisting the help of our loved ones wherever we could. From that little family, we’ve grown to include an amazing group of creative folks who love cooking, decorating and creating as much as we do.

Hard to believe it’s been over 25 years since those kitchen-table days. Today we’re best known for our homestyle, family-friendly cookbooks, now recognized as national bestsellers! We love hand-picking the recipes and are tickled to share our inspiration, ideas and more with you. One thing’s for sure, we couldn’t have done it without our friends all across the country. Whether you’ve been along for the ride from the beginning or are just discovering us, welcome to our family!
