LONG POST ALERT✨️⚡️😍- early apologies for elipses for my grammar nuts.. I write like I speak. I hope you can hear my resonance as you read.-
Happy Saturday Morning friends near and far.
I'm sitting watching the ocean roll in on a cloudy misty day down here in Baja at my treatment center. I have been gone from Home for 5 weeks this Sunday.
Things are going Really Well and I absolutely know I'm going to beat this Cancer. This journey of fighting for my physical life in my vessel has cost us much of our external existence.. but in the end it WILL be worth it. IT IS worth it.... so many of you have expressed the sadness you feel for our situation and I feel your heartbreak 💔, but I would ask you to shift towards hope and gratitude for what has been, and be filled with optimism for our future.
Brian and I have been hard workers all our lives, we learned it from our parents- that you reap what what you sow.
I've been so very lucky 🍀 to find my perfect partner in Brian, he has always been willing to push a little farther, build a little (or alot) more, have vision,and legitimately do whatever it takes to finish a job with excellence and integrity.
When we moved to Sheridan 10 years ago to Cato Ranch, we were so blessed to have found this town, & our amazing community at the foot of Majesty and Magic in the Bighorns. That job introduced us to so many good folks, especially the Downtown Sheridan Association Farmers market and the queen of the local foods movement in my eyes- Bonnie Gregory ✨️💕 we became fast friends and from market, to Galas and beyond I was inspired that our Community desperately needed some fun and some funk and support for Local Producers in the food scene.
As things happened the time to change our lives once again, came around & we decided that we wouldn't move on, WE LOVED THIS TOWN.. and Brian finally had a shot at doing what he wanted and that was open a Foodtruck..
If you've been following our journey from the start you know we WORKED FOR IT.. built barns, ran hard roads and made s**t happen.
Merry- and our Bonafide Dream was received with so much warmth and excitement 💖- never mind those pesky naysayers and rule makers.. we helped figure it all out with grace... and a little in your face.
Taco Tuesdays at Luminous Brewhouse are legendary... and many downtown events.
I'll forever stand behind Build a bigger table not a higher fence..
We had our tiny little kitchen downtown, thanks to our longtime friends at Cowboy Cafe - Sheridan, Wy and moved to every street location we could find from no name, to CO-OP, to the hospital, to the building of Emit on the north end of town- where we tried to vend thru Winter-lol that was a lesson that failures eventually = greater success...and to our final spot on Coffeen thru the generosity and vision of the Summit Realty Group, Inc . Even in the midst of a pandemic we had a little food truck empire for awhile with Sunshine Smoothie & Juice Co. And the Law Family who's belief in others and visions for this town have helped many.
The days were LONG and summers jam packed full of Every Single event we could say yes too, which was alot... you've been there- from your wedding, to a back yard barbecue , to the Sheridan WYO Rodeo , Born in a Barn , to get be part of the Go Fast Don't Die & Devilstone family and beyond. We've had many many opportunities to feed you and celebrate with color and style. Not to mention nationwide pop-ups and of course Sturgis Rally at the The Buffalo Chip with Ride Wild , that helped cement our Bonafide Reputation for creating something magical and impact full with nothing more than opportunity and a Dream..
The need for expansion to scale up to meet the demands of a pre-covid economy led us to purchase the old Frye Construction Company and again we poured our heart and soul into creating a space, not just for Us but for Everyone.
There are so many passionate people who love local foods and producers and other Mobile Vendors needed a spot.. and with your help and generosity for the walk-ins, Bonafide community Commissary came to life.. and was so successful at giving folks a hand up in getting thier businesses started.
A literal incubator of dreams and ambition.
The Passion and Pride that went into creating this place has helped not only Us but many others, our employees and thier families, our competitors and friends, realize what possibilities exist if you'll just work hard for it.
It was a very difficult and thought thru process. Arriving at the decision to Sell, first the foodtruck so I could actually afford treatments and then the realization that without her, continuing to just caterer would be an even harder thing for Me personally. That in order to Completely Heal... I would need to totally step away from a life of food service 😩 and choose a much less stressful situation. I'm a damn perfectionist - or at least a slightly messy logistical mastermind 😢😉😘, so here we go.. deep breathe & release.
I'm striving each day to release, and become more comfortable with where the path will lead next and that leaves me with the Link you see below.
A shining example of dreams and possibilities ✨️ 💕.
It's waiting for the right person to make it thiers.
Sheridan really needs a Catering Company, there's a tremendous amount of revenue open for the taking.
As you see in the photos we have everything you need to operate a turn key food based operation, and all of those are also for sale - separately. The proper permits are in place and available for a catering operation or production. The county will never convert this to a commercial property so an actual restaurant isn't possible, but so many other things ARE!
It has a sanctuary of a living space. A private back deck, a super versatile yard and outbuildings, room for more buildings, a Gypsy camper village and a great fire pavilion with mountain views..
We hope and pray that that special someone will have the courage and the gumption..
It's very fairly priced for all that's there and will only continue to increase in value as Sheridan keeps expanding ..
Brian and I ,our family and our Team Thank you from the bottom of our Bonafide 💕 for believing in us, & showing us so much Love much - PLEASE HELP US ONE MORE TIME BY SHARING!!
Dreaming and manifesting the possibilities for new owners with us!
And by leaving your Comments &
Memories about what you have Loved about our Journey. Your kind words help heal me every day, and my heart is full of gratitude ,for the opportunity to watch your children grow, to satisfy your cravings for good food, for trusting us with your events & to share your stories and challenges, to have truly been of service.
Thank you and all the Love- Brian and Antonia Miller....
We'll see you down the road this Bonafide Adventure isn't over, it's just changing- forever the Dish & Spoon....
What could you do with a small acreage close to town, no covenants, lots of privacy, renovated living quarters, amazing shop space and room for critters? The possibilities are endless at 2667 Loucks Street! Would you rent out the commercial-grade, commissary kitchen to other local food-service compa...
