Welcome to the Home of Fresh FACS Publishing

Fresh FACS Publishing is a small (very small!) company dedicated to the creation of exciting and original resources for the Family and Consumer Science professional.  As you can see from the photo gallery above, we're a home-based business that we operate out of the second story of our recently constructed two-car garage.  Like most entrepreneurs, we spend long hours building our business--conducting research, writing, printing, binding, filling orders--generally pouring our hearts and souls into the day-to-day operation of Fresh FACS Publishing.

The "We" of Fresh FACS Publishing refers to our husband and wife team--Dusty and Ramona Hatch.  I'm the creative half of our business team.  As a retired FACS teacher, I am passionate about the importance of FACS and FACS education.  I spend most of my days nestled in the dormer area of our office space (center photo above) developing materials for FACS classroom use.  I am constantly spinning new ideas for classroom activities that I hope will enhance instruction in FACS classrooms where they're implemented.  I hope you'll take a few minutes to check out the materials we offer here on our website. 

Dusty is in charge of bringing my ideas to life and preparing them for distribution.  Virtually all of our materials are produced in house.  Dusty not only prints and binds all of our materials, but he also manages the office and maintains all of the business records.  If that weren't enough to keep him busy, he also is the webmaster for FreshFACS.com.  In short, if it requires technical knowledge or business acumen, Dusty steps up and handles it.

Fresh FACS has one part time employee, our graphic designer Jill Fox.  Jill is a very talented young mother of one who has infused our materials with flair and style and we don't know what we'd do without her.  You will see her artistic touch in the covers of all of our resources, our line of cards and calendars and definitely in the layout and composition of Bloom!, our mini-magazine created for FACS teachers.  Jill takes my ideas and "makes them look pretty" and she does it very well.

We've been in business since 2000 and we're pleased with the growth that we've experienced.  We thank those of you who are already our clients and we look forward to working with those who are new to our site.  We hope you find the information and materials we offer here useful and inspiring.  Thanks for visiting and we hope the you come back again often.
