This is going to be a year of milestones, both personal and professional, for Laurie Crowell.
Along with marking her 20th wedding anniversary to husband Britt Crowell and her 50th birthday, she s going to toast the 25th anniversary of Golden Fig Fine Foods, her remarkable specialty foods company that produces an ever-growing catalog of vinegars, spices, infused sugars, fresh drink mixes and other temptations in a busy northeast Minneapolis kitchen. And as long as the calendar is out, 2021 is also the year that Crowell s retail shop, also stamped with the Golden Fig name, will celebrate its 15th birthday.
