  • Battleship Beanery Coffee

    Service Disabled Veteran Owned
    Magnolia, TX 77354

    Battleship Beanery Micro-Roast was spawned by our own retired U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer in a sincere desire to find and roast the very best coffee beans to create the very best "cup a Joe" possible. Also, an avid coffee drinker, Chief brings 21 years of deck plate leadership to every single roast. Taking green coffee beans and roasting them to perfection is a dedication and a passion. 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.

    Service Disabled Veteran Owned
    Buchanan, TN 38222-0033

    I started Sprockets Coffee in 2017 and have slowly built with the help of loyal customers who enjoy more than just a cup of coffee. "Coffee" is more than a bean or stimulant to get you up and rolling in the morning. It is a catalyst for conversation, taking time to sit down with a fellow veteran, dear friend, or even a stranger to give encouragement, or save a life one conversation at a time. Never underestimate the power of saying "would you like a cup of coffee"? Hope you enjoyed the coffee... Jason Comments on the Military and Business Ownership Drive

  • Baking Ops

    Service Disabled Veteran Owned
    Pasadena, MD 21122

    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.

I have been part of charities that supported Vets over the years, but when I moved back to Maine, the idea hit me. Many talented Veterans leave Maine each year for better opportunities to support themselves and family. Here, if you're not in the tourist industry or out on lobster boats, employment opportunities are scarce. I decided that as I built a company and as it grew, I could hire Vets.

  • Mack Daddy's Hawg Sauce

    Veteran Owned Business
    Melbourne, FL 32934

    Mack Daddy’s Inc. (Mack Daddy's Hawg Sauce) was recently started by my wife, my son, my daughter, and me. The purpose is to showcase products that have a special meaning to my family. The barbecue sauce for example comes from a recipe that has been in our family for about forty years. The name was changed and it is now called “Mack Daddy’s Hawg Sauce". I started out making this in my kitchen with a whole lot of help from my wife. It would take us three or four hours just to put the ingredients in the pot. I originally used this sauce as a promotional item for my sales business. Instead of handing out cups, mugs, pens, and calendars like many salespeople do, I handed out barbecue sauce and it worked for me. This sauce has been all over the world and I have gotten feedback from thousands of people for over twenty years. I can tell you first hand that most people love this sauce for grilling or dipping. About twenty five years ago I invented a cast iron double thick extra heavy duty blackening skillet/griddle called the “Bayou Blackener.” The trademark for that name lapsed and I was unable to reinstate it so we changed the name to the “Mack Daddy’s Blackener.” I sold thousands of these years ago long before the internet and people loved this product. It has now been improved because it comes pre-seasoned and ready to use right out of the box. And I’m proud to say that it is made for my company by Lodge manufacturing, the oldest and largest cast iron cookware Comments on the Military and Business Ownership It helped to teach me what I was capable of doing.
