Charcuterie Board Business Getting Ready To Feed Howard County Residents

ELLICOTT CITY, MD — Graze Craze will be opening a Howard County site in time for fall festivities and holiday gatherings.

According to the company's website, Graze Craze creators called Grazologists help customers piece together the perfect assembly of food items on a charcuterie board or full table that's customized for an event.

The grazing boards can serve anywhere from 10 to 20 people in various sizes while grazing boxes come in two sizes - The Lone Grazer for up to two people and The Picnic Box for four people. There's also the Grab & Graze for one snacker and a smaller size, the Char-Cutie-Cup. Add-ons include a gourmet pickle box, a bread box and a bread and cracker box.

Each board has a theme of sorts and goodies include cured meats, cheeses, fruits, veggies, nuts, eggs, pastries and sweets, and breakfast meats. For larger events, customers can opt for a sandwich board with 24 finger sandwiches on each board.

The Ellicott City location of Graze Craze can be found at 3570 St. Johns Lane. It will open this month, according to its Facebook page, with hours from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. They're open by appointment only to pick up orders on Sundays.

The St. Johns Lane shop also currently is hiring in advance of their opening this month.

Founded in 2018 by an Air Force veteran and single mom, Graze Craze has nearly 100 stores across the country with locations in more than 30 states.
