Our Story
Specializing in farmers’ markets, Pappardelle’s distributed their products to over 250 markets nationwide. Around the same time, I was contemplating a shift away from healthcare and found myself considering the idea of selling pasta. Encouraged by the success of other businesses in downtown Frederick, we decided to take a leap of faith and join the farmers’ market circuit.
A few months later, an opportunity presented itself on Market Street, prompting us to make another bold move into a brick-and-mortar shop. Since then, we’ve expanded our offerings to include a variety of Italian-imported shapes and flavors sourced from other small businesses.
