Growing up, anytime one of us kids got hurt, be it a scratch, burn, bee sting, whatever my dad in his slow, deep, southern drawl would tell us to "put some salve on it". We knew to go to the medicine cabinet and pull out that red tin of Watkins Salve. (the smell of this stuff today brings back so many wonderful childhood memories) I started my boutique bakery business in 2006 and the only extracts I ever use are Watkins. Watkins Vanilla is my "secret" ingredient that makes my baked goods far superior to many local bakeries and leaves home bakers wondering what my trick is.

After tallying up the monies spent over the years on Vanilla and Salve Joe and I realized that joining Watkins as Independent Associates is a needed step to take. We joined in September, immediately saving 25% and more on our personal purchases as well as earning a nice income from sharing our passion, commitment, and love for Watkins products
