The short version
This catalog is a reading room for our collections, batch notes, and gift guides. It remembers the small things that make a second visit feel familiar, and it keeps those things on your own device rather than in a workshop file.
When the display card appears at the bottom corner, you choose whether we remember your preferences in this browser or keep them for the current visit only. Choosing either option removes the card.
What is stored on your device
One small preference record is written to your browser's local storage under a workshop key. It holds a single value describing the choice you made on the display card, so the card does not follow you around the catalog on every page.
- Your display preference: remember my choices, or this visit only
- The flavor family you most recently selected in the Palate Forge
- The collection filter you last used in the vault, so a return visit opens where you left it
Nothing in that record identifies you by name, address, or household. It is a preference note, not a profile.
What we do not gather
The catalog has no account system, no newsletter capture, and no comment fields. We do not buy contact lists, we do not attach advertising identifiers to visitors, and we do not combine the preference record with anything else.
When you write to the workshop
If you send a note to wildacre.sweets@gmail.com, we receive whatever you choose to include, usually a question about a batch or a request to hold a tin. Those notes live in the workshop mailbox so we can answer them and are kept only as long as the conversation and any standing request remain useful.
Visit notes
When a visitor books a bench visit, we keep a short note with the date, the party size, and any flavor interests mentioned. That note is used to set up the tasting tray and is discarded once the season closes.
Clearing what is saved
You are always in charge of the local record. Two routes work equally well:
- Open your browser settings, find site data, and clear storage for this catalog.
- Return to any page, dismiss the display card with the this-visit-only option, and the record is replaced.
Children and family orders
The catalog is written for adult gift buyers and reads like a workshop ledger. We do not knowingly keep information about anyone under thirteen, and we ask that gift questions from younger family members come through a parent or grandparent.
Seasonal updates to this guide
Recipes change with the orchard, and occasionally this guide changes with them. The revision date at the top of the page tells you which version you are reading. Substantive changes are posted here before they take effect, and the workshop ledger records the date of each revision.
Reaching a person
Privacy questions go to the same bench that answers everything else. Write to wildacre.sweets@gmail.com, call (509) 555-0143 during pull hours, or stop by 1184 Orchard Loop Road, Walla Walla, Washington 99362.
