The One to Count On...

A Jefferson County business has chosen a facility in Keota for the production of their candy line. Heavenly Organics will be producing honey patties, which consist of a thick type of honey rolled in chocolate, at the former Keota Products building. General Manager Mary Ann Hahn says they previously used a co-packer, but after it closed, they decided to get their own production facility. They also plan to move distribution of the honey patties to Keota after production is up and running. They’ve hired a manager and five employees, and plan to hire two to three more individuals in the next few months.
