The Duck Holiday Drop

You found the secret webpage—welcome!

The Ardent Homesteader has stocked three special treats at the brewery this holiday season, all made by hand in tiny batches right here in Orange County, NY. Perfect for gifting (or keeping for yourself).

VENMO: @ARDENTHOMESTEADER Including what you picked up in the notes helps keep things organized (and adds a little joy behind the scenes). Thank you!

Snack Fix

Savory & nutty with a touch of sweet heat. Whole pecans, almonds, and cashews; two kind of Snyder’s pretzels; rice, corn, and wheat cereals; all coated in a spiced-up Cara-Sel Salted Caramel (featuring Rockerbox Garlic Dust) Excellent with beer. Impossible to stop eating.

Crunch Mix

Roasty-toasty, nutty, and above all delicious. This barely-sweet, granola-adjacent crunchy topping is made with Cara-Sel™ Salted Caramel, oats, pecans, almonds, walnuts, olive oil, and kosher salt. Amazing on yogurt, baked into crisps, or eaten straight from the jar.

Cara-Sel Salted Caramel Sauce

My signature salted caramel sauce, made in tiny one-gallon batches with just five simple ingredients. Deeply toasty and rich, with just the right amount of salt. Spoon it, stir it, drizzle it, bake with it—you can’t go wrong.
