It was about five years ago that David and I embraced our ambitious idea to launch a company designing and manufacturing highly functional kitchen tools. TableFare was born, and after much planning and design work we launched our SpiceCare spice storage containers in the summer of 2009.

This entrepreneurial adventure has been a rollercoaster ride of exciting and fun peaks matched by stressful and scary dips. Though we’ve received outstanding feedback on our product, our SpiceCare ride is coming to an end. Despite our best efforts to make our venture work, the reality is SpiceCare is just too niche of a product to sustain us. We had hoped to find a home for SpiceCare with a larger 
housewares company, and though three companies were very interested and evaluated the opportunity, none of them decided to go with our product. In light of this we’ve had to face the reality that we can no longer afford to produce SpiceCare.
We will be selling out the inventory we have on hand and at least for the time being, not producing any more. If we manage to get ourselves re-established in our former careers, bringing SpiceCare back as a side venture is not out of the question. If you want to add to your SpiceCare collection now would be the time! We are offering free shipping on orders over $25 until our inventory sells out.

Building TableFare by bootstrapping our way along and learning with each new opportunity has been a remarkable experience. The most rewarding of all has been the ability to connect directly with all of you through our website, blog, newsletter, Facebook and Twitter accounts– always a highlight of our daily activities. We plan to keep TableFare.com active with blog posts, Spice Library updates, and other food and cooking related information. We also look forward to engaging in interesting 
food, cooking, and spice-related discussions with you on Facebook and Twitter. The increasingly popular Twitter #SpiceChat on the first Wednesday of each month will continue as well.
We deeply appreciate your support, thank you for your business. The emails from happy SpiceCare customers extolling the organizational joy of our product were the biggest rewards of our entire venture. We hope you’ll stay in touch and if we can swing it, someday you may just get an email announcing SpiceCare is back!
Thank you,
Carol & David

Oh my goodness…how lucky I am to have recently found this product…and how fortuitous that I signed back on today to create additional labels and found your announcement. I am ordering two more…one to have at our other home and one as a gift for my sister. LOVE this product…it’s obvious a tremendous amount of thought went into this design and website. I do hope you will keep me posted on your future endeavors…I wish you two the very best!
Annie,
Thank you! I’m so glad you’ve been happy with your SpiceCare. We’ll definitely share updates through our newsletter, Facebook and blog, so please stay connected with us.
I am so sad to hear this!!! I had been considering SpiceCare for my new kitchen…unfortunately, we are moving next week, and we have so much to do that I’m not sure I will be able to put in an order in the near future. 🙁 Do you have any sense how long you might have your existing inventory?
Beth – It’s difficult to say how long our inventory will last because we have no way of knowing how our news will change the rate of purchases. Check back once you’re settled and if we are out click on our “Customer Service” link and drop me an email because I might be able to direct you to one of our retailers if they still have inventory. Good luck with your move!
I’m so sorry to hear this! I spent a long time searching for just the right spice storage system, and this is perfect. I have many of the jars now, but I think I’ll have to purchase some more for backup.
Your customer service has always been top notch. It’s a shame it can’t continue.
This is such sad news. I have thoroughly enjoyed my spice jars, and my budding, now established, friendship with you, Carol.
I need to purchase new jars quickly. LOL
I wish you and your husband the very best, whatever you decide to do.
I am new to your spice storage collection as my first order arrived late July. I live in Crete, in Greece, and it is very important to keep spices airtight, so i thought I had found the solution! I have also just recommended your product to a big kitchen utensil company in the uk called Lake land, as I am sure their customer base would find them interesting. I do hope you find someone to help you. I will just have to see what you have left, and look forward to hearing more of you in the future.
I purchased our first set of the SpiceCare Starter Set containers at this past Christmas for the husband. He has quite an extensive spice arsenal and it was in desperate need of organization. I can NOT begin to tell you how much I LOVE these containers. I’m thinking another set is an order for this Christmas.
However I was wondering, have you ever considered attending the San Diego County Fair? I think your product would be a great hit. Anyhow, have a great day!

P.S. If you ever decide to start it back up again, please put me in your customer list!!!
Thanks.
Hi,
I was looking for something to organize my spices and
being able to have airtight and see though a must. Your
SpiceCare System looked great! Too bad your not carrying this product anymore. If you do come back with it please
add my name to the list. Good Luck,
Marie
I would love to purchase several sets of your SpiceCare System. Please let me know if you start producing these again. Thanks!!!
I currently own one set and came here to order another for all the remainder of my spices. My sister bought this for me and i love it. If you ever begin making them again, please add me to your list.
