In Honor & Memory of Co-Founder Dani Gauntz
The Enchanted Kitchen 'Yea Ole Apothecary' came about as a dream of Deborah 'Dani' Gauntz. In the beginning she combined two passions that were passed down to her.
Dani’s first was a love and talent for canning unique Jams, Jellies and Preserves. After winning many ribbons and a Ball award at the Cabarrus County Fair and then ribbons and a Best Of Show at the NC State Fair she decided to have her kitchen inspected by the state so the she could legally produce and sale her wares.
The second comes from family traditions and recipes that were passed down for at least six generations. Dani is a sixth generation Apothecary, and the family ways were taught to her by her grandmother and great aunt. These include a vast knowledge and natural awareness of the uses of herbs in creams, lotions, salves, tinctures, teas and many other products that she spends hours pouring her natural ability and love into.
After building up an inventory while vending she was able to open the shop she had always wanted. Which She opened in 2010. Sadly, Dani lost her battle with cancer in late August of 2023. However, her spirit and legacy live on in The Enchanted Kitchen. Today, the store continues under the ownership of Edney Holder, Dani's husband and co-founder, in the manner as Dani wanted. As Dani is still watching over us.
