Hi, my name is Michelle Dellaperute. I am a mom of four boys who loves to bake! Once upon a time, I started a cookie company because my late grandmother’s secret cookie recipes were just that good! And, since I pour my heart into everything I bake, I named the company after my middle name, Charisma. Yes, it’s true, that’s how “Charisma’s Cookies” was born, and that’s why Charisma will always be the secret ingredient.

​

Several years ago, when my youngest son started Kindergarten, I took my passion for baking and pastry to a whole new level by going back to college to earn my culinary arts degree. Now, I’ve combined secret family recipes and a love for baking with formal training in classical French pastry arts. So now everything looks as good as it tastes. I hope you will try and see for yourself. 

Fast forward until 2025...

We(my husband and I)imagined a place where my love for baked goods (cookies) and my husband’s love to grow things (trees) blended together. This place would be a little slice of heaven on earth for us. Only one thing would do. It would have to be a cookie tree farm.

Don’t worry, we will still provide the finest quality baked goods (picked fresh from our cookie trees of course). But we also want to offer healthier, more sustainable and locally sourced goods, like organic fruits and vegetables, home grown micro greens, freshly milled flour, eggs produced on site by our happy herd of chickens, bouquets of flowers picked fresh from our gardens, and of course homemade baked goods.

So please come visit the cookie tree farm one weekend this summer and let us know if you leave inspired! Sure, it is still a work in progress, just like the owners.
And thank you for supporting my small homestead business.
Michelle CHARISMA Dellaperute and the staff (Mike) at the cookie tree farm.
