A Family Tradition

Family Favorites Passed On

It was a great experience for my siblings and I, running home from middle or high school after a hectic day of kids teasing kids and teachers picking on you… to open that front door and find my angel mother just landing two to three pans of Great Grandma Opal {Louise (Allred) Gomm’s handed down and modified recipe} Applesauce Cookies or My Grandma Beverly Gomm’s version of Cowboy Cookies! The smells instantly began to make us smile and were a source of comfort food. Oh boy, we’d hurry to help consume at least 3 and often 5 Cookies with a glass of milk, then it was off to a brief break and our heads were ready for the arduous task of homework followed by our chores and evening routine. We kids were glad for that sweet warmth she used to show her love every once in a while… not that one can’t enjoy a thing like that daily!!!

A Company That Gives Back

YOUR PURCHASE HELPS THE LESS FORTUNATE

Years later in talking to mom after passing on her tradition to my own family, fellow serviceman, friends and others when I could, I found she had coined the inspiration to our name by creating an email called gommswarmcookies. Having been entrepreneurially interested as a teen, I began studying the products she made and other family members, having myself worked for some large food producers here in Idaho, I sought out ways to stream line production at home and created my own Research and Development to come up with the perfect cookie and portion of our first few products in hopes of one day producing them with heart like hers and in a big way!

Then in the Fall of 2016 November I happened upon something that got my heart in “just risk it” gear, when I saw a friend, Ollie Cantos, had begun mentoring three ten year old blind triplets and immigrants from Colombia of all places some seven years back and opened a whole new world to them and had adopted them in 2014 approximately. Ollie being blind and never having married made him quite a Super Dad to begin with, however, he was feeling the need to help each of them continue to be greater and opened up a Go Fund Me account to raise money for them to achieve there ambitions.
