 Cousin Jack is the name for a miner in the U.S. around the mid-1800's who immigrated from Cornwall, England. The name Jack represents the Union Jack flag and Cousin stands for friend or brother. Luckily, these Cornish immigrants brought their beloved pasty with them. |

Pasty is pronounced past-ee, not pay-stee! |

Do you have a retail store and if so what are your hours?
|
|
|
We do not currently have a retail store. People love to call ahead and stop by our manufacturing facility to pick up their pasties. We are working on being open to the public for certain times during the week. We will let you know when this happens. For now, please call us to schedule a pasty pick up or see the Where To Buy page on our website to find a place to purchase a pasty near you. A great place to get yourself a pasty is at the Saturday Eugene Farmers Market! |

How long have you been in business?
|
|
|
We have been in business for almost a year. After a year of remodeling our manufacturing facility and working with the USDA, we received our final grant of inspection from the USDA on June 15, 2009. We have been making pasties ever since. |
|
| |
Are your pasties made with organic ingredients?
|
|
|
Yes! We are committed to using organic and locally sourced ingredients. Our new labeling is coming out soon and you will see our ingredient list will be updated to identify what is organic. |
|
| |
Do you have a gluten-free pasty?
|
|
|
Not yet, but we are working on it! Our customers have asked and we have been trying out new recipes. We would love to hear from our gluten-free customers with any advice or recipe suggestions! |
|
| |
Do you make a vegan pasty?
|
|
We currently do not make a vegan pasty. The Wild Mushroom pasty does not have cheese in it, but all the flavors do have butter in the crust. We are working on creating a vegan gluten-free pasty.
|
|
| |
Do you make sweet pasties or just savory?
|
|
|
Right now we only make savory pasties, but due to customer requests, we will be making a sweet pasty in the future. We did make pasties for McKenzie River Organics, filled with their delicious organic blueberries, which you can buy direct from them at their Eugene Farmer's Market stand or at their farm stand near Leaburg. |
