Gooseberry Patch is a mail-order company based in Delaware, Ohio. The company was founded in 1984 by Vickie Hutchins and Jo Ann Martin, who were neighbors. Neither had any business experience before founding the company; Jo Ann was a first-grade teacher, and Vickie was a flight attendant.[1]
The business is now operated from a 52,000-square-foot building and includes retail, wholesale and web sales divisions. Gooseberry Patch encourages customers to submit recipes, some of which are selected for inclusion in Gooseberry Patch recipe books;[2] since 1992, over 100 cookbooks have been published with over 6.8 million sold.[3]
