Zingermans is celebrating their 25th anniversary this week.
Their breads are featured in the latest House and Garden.
They are the quintessential Ann Arbor institution. The mail
order alone is a 30 million dollar business now. They have moved into local
wedding and also event planning.  I think I mentioned
that they were selling the long pepper and grains of paradise back in May
of 2005. The co-owner was one of the keynote speakers at the
Symposium on American Culinary History.

I've looked the producer of their long pepper up before. It turns out 
the company also has a website--
