Nestled in the heart of North Boca Raton is a charming shop that has become a culinary haven for locals: Graze Craze North Boca Raton. At the helm of this delightful venture is Cindee Conner, a retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel whose journey is as flavorful as the charcuterie boards she creates.
A Life Built on Service
Cindee's path to entrepreneurship wasn't typical. With over 30 years dedicated to healthcare as a Registered Nurse and years of military service under her belt, her life has been a commitment to serving others. Many know her as a leader, but behind the uniform and stethoscope is a woman with a profound belief in the power of community and connection.
“When I think about my career, it’s always been about service. Whether it was serving my country or caring for patients, it all boils down to connection,” Cindee reflects. This connection became the bedrock of her new venture.
Creating Graze Craze
The inception of Graze Craze stemmed from an eagerness to explore a new avenue of service. When the idea of a specialty charcuterie shop took shape, Cindee recognized the potential for food to bring people together, especially in a time when social gatherings were limited but connection was needed more than ever.
“Food is a universal language. It speaks to everyone and brings us together,” she says. Located at 1820 N. Dixie Hwy, Boca Raton, Graze Craze quickly gained traction as a go-to destination for parties, gatherings, and simply sharing moments with loved ones.
Elevated Culinary Experiences
Every product at Graze Craze is a testament to Cindee’s dedication. Whether it’s a perfectly arranged charcuterie board or a grazing box for a picnic, Cindee and her team pride themselves on using only the highest quality ingredients. Nothing is off the shelf; everything is crafted with care and passion.
With options catering to various dietary preferences, from vegetarian to gluten-free, Graze Craze ensures everyone feels included. Cindee emphasizes, “Creating a memorable experience isn’t just about the food; it’s about making sure nobody feels left out.”
Community Connection
Beyond the delectable offerings, Graze Craze is a proud supporter of local heroes—Veterans, Healthcare Workers, and First Responders. Cindee’s commitment to these individuals is reflected in her mission statement: to approach everyone connected to Graze Craze with a servant’s heart.
To her, supporting the community is more than a business model; it’s a way of life. “We’re all in this together. My hope is to create a space where people feel valued and connected, no matter their background,” she explains.
Balancing Act
Juggling a thriving business and personal responsibilities is no small feat. Cindee is also a full-time caretaker for a parent with Alzheimer’s, a mom to a university student, and married to an Air Force Veteran. Despite the challenges, she remains committed to her family and community. “Service is part of who I am, whether it’s at home or here,” she says with a smile.
Looking Ahead
As we look toward the future, Cindee’s vision for Graze Craze North Boca Raton is ever-expanding. With a growing community of loyal customers and a burgeoning online presence, she is excited about the next chapter. “I want everyone to experience the joy of sharing food again, to be part of something larger,” she shares.
With a firm belief that food connects us all, Cindee Conner's Graze Craze stands as a valuable reminder that at the heart of every gathering lies the opportunity for connection, joy, and celebration.
