Most coffee today is roasted and canned or bagged in bulk by the big guys. Although some of the big guys can make a decent cup of coffee, by the time it goes from the roaster to the distributor, to the big chain stores or coffee houses, and then finally to your home cup it is stale and no longer at its peak freshness. Fresh coffee are beans that are roasted and then ground and brewed to the cup within three weeks of roasting. The big guys just cannot get it to the cup that fast.

We are a veteran owned and operated business dedicated to giving back to our service members. Baking Ops was born in in a small kitchen in Iraq and has grown into our current Buy a Dozen, Give a Dozen Maryland-based small business. For every dozen cookies or tray of brownies purchased locally in Maryland, a dozen cookies or tray of brownies are packaged and sent to a deployed service member. There are few things that bring joy to a service member’s heart while deployed like being on the mail recipient list. Being on the list reminds the deployed member that someone back in the states or across the world is thinking of them. Being overseas, especially deployed to a combat zone, can make our service members feel disconnected and as if the world is passing one by. Something as simple as a box of homemade cookies and a little note to show appreciation for their sacrifices can serve as a reminder that they are not forgotten, cared for and missed. Having been on both the giving and receiving end of these care packages, we have learned the best methods to properly preserve delicious, home baked goods. After seeing the most successful (and unsuccessful!) boxes first hand, we devoted our time to testing and perfecting our recipes and packaging techniques to ensure a well-intentioned gift does not end up melted, moldy, or tasting of soap from other items improperly packaged. No one likes delicious brownies with a soapy aftertaste. Our baking and packaging techniques guarantee that does not happen.
