Tracy’s love
OF COOKING
As a transition from teaching for over 20yrs I started a cake decorating business. The people I shared my treats with thought they were very delicious, including a local manufacturer who encouraged me to start my own business.
I approached a few retailers to sell my products and a local retailer called me to have a talk with me why she would not sell my treats. She started our conversation by saying “you don’t know your market, do you? This is Fine Food and you need to contact the likes of Jamie Oliver.” I will never forget those words.
My quest to find “my market” led me to the Guild of Fine Foods, 2017 and then to Jayne Shields at the Black Country Chamber of Commerce in March 2018. On our first meeting Jayne said we are going to build the foundations of this business and immediately I made the decision to start the business of creating treats for gifting (personal and corporate gifting). The foundations for the business were laid and this year we are striving for growth. It has been an amazing year working with Jayne, she has supported me beyond measure and I am very thankful.
Made with
LOVE & CARE
Woolery Forbes was born out of Tracy’s love for creating and sharing beautiful and delicious food from family recipes which are over 100 years old.
The handmade treats are special because they are crafted with care and attention to detail. Each Fine Food treat is made using traditional Jamaican recipes and high-quality ingredients. All treats are made to capture the essence of the original recipe. So today there is the continued use of simple methods which promotes sustainability.
The Your Worthiness fragrance range is exceptional because they are made with high quality ingredients which are reminiscent of the beautiful scents of Jamaica. They are not only satisfying, they are inviting.
Unlike mass-produced products, all Woolery Forbes’ products are handmade in small batches, allowing for a greater degree of precision to the traditional culinary recipes and the fragrances capture some essences of Jamaica. The personal touch of highly skilled human hands and passion for what we do results in unique flavours, texture, and appearance, making each treat one-of-a-kind. Additionally, the fine food treats created have a rustic charm and wholesome quality that you don't find in commercially made products.
Woolery Forbes products offer a more authentic, memorable, and enjoyable experience. Savouring the moment with soothing fragrances and enjoying the flavours of exceptional treats is simply magical.
