Our Story

Hi! We’re Santiago and Amaia. In 2020, we decided we wanted to help raise money to help people who were affected by the California wildfires by selling cookies. Since we couldn’t have a regular bake sale, we created dough & cookies so we could sell cookies online. Since then, we have raised over $500 for the Center for Disaster Philanthropy.

Now we have a new goal. We want to raise $1000 for No Kid Hungry. All proceeds from sales of our cookies will be donated to help stop childhood huger. If you don’t need the cookies but still would like to donate to the cause, visit our No Kid Hungry Bake Sale page and donate directly.


Hester produces fresh, organic produce from local farmers in New York. Even our spices are fresh. Just because pickling is a preservation process doesn’t mean you can use dried-up thyme or week-old asparagus that’s already a little spongy.

We want to give our customers crisp, crunchy and delicious pickled vegetables and fruits. Most of all, we want to expand people’s palates and prove that pickles don’t always come in a green or red variety.
