Hello, Cache Valley!
In this week’s Crop, it’s a tale of two Buttars… One’s taking over the Cache Valley sweets scene with her business, Double Drizzle. The other is the married couple behind Cache Coffee in Paradise. Buttar they related? It turns out, they’re not!
We also check in on Beaver Mountain’s new Cabin/lodge and hear from the valley’s embattled VISTA crew.
And as always, if you like what we’re doing, please share this newsletter with your family and friends.
Yours,

Meet Your Neighbor: Tyla Buttars, the 15-year-old entrepreneur behind Double Drizzle 🍦🍪
(Tyla Buttars | Double Drizzle) The homegrown business produces seasonal specials and rotates its offerings on a monthly basis.
Tyla Buttars turns homemade cookies and local ice cream into something magical. The 15-year-old Cove entrepreneur started Double Drizzle almost a year ago after realizing her favorite childhood treat — ice-cream sandos — could be elevated into an actual business.
“Me and my mom were just baking, and we put together an ice cream sandwich because we’ve always loved eating Fat Boys,” she explained. “I had the idea to turn it into a business, and I wanted to make my ice cream sandwiches look pretty, so I did two drizzles across the cookie, and then came up with the name Double Drizzle from that.”
Now she’s selling roughly 200 orders per month, rotating flavors monthly based on the season. To boot, Tyla bakes every single cookie herself. “I make the cookies, and then we buy the ice cream,” she said.
Her current favorite? “The brownie peppermint one. It’s a brownie cookie that has peppermint in it, vanilla ice cream, and then it’s rolled in crushed candy canes.” Her mom, Marci, favors the gingerbread-eggnog-white chocolate ganache combo. Getting hungry? Us too!
She spends most weekends baking and fulfilling orders, a commitment her mom deeply respects. “She’s a go-getter,” Marci gushes of daughter. “She had a job when she was 13. She’s awesome.”
Behind all those weekend hours, Tyla saves every cookie dollar so she can buy a truck by next summer to romp it up into Cache Valley’s prime 4x4 terrain with her dirtbikes.
But beyond supporting her moto aspirations, Tyla just loves supplying Cache Valley with tasty treats. “Mostly, it’s probably just bringing joy to people,” she reflects. “Seeing their faces when I get to hand them their ice cream sandwiches and having them text me saying how good they are — I like seeing people happy because of what I made.”

Paradise roastery Cache Coffee damaged by tree — but community shows up
(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) Mindie and Jamie Buttars stand next to the remains of a massive tree that fell on top of their coffee roastery in Paradise, on Thursday, Dec. 11, 2025.
A massive tree crashed through Cache Coffee’s roastery in Paradise recently, causing thousands in damage. But what could’ve been a disaster became a testament to Cache Valley’s neighborly spirit.
“We weren’t sure what the next few weeks would look like,” owners Mindie and Jamie Buttars wrote on Facebook. “But our community didn’t wait for answers. People showed up with tools, strength, and heart.”
The couple faced a double blow when their homeowners insurance denied the claim. “Our business insurance isn’t going to cover it because that’s not our business, that’s our home,” Mindie explained.
But despite the setback, community members immediately rallied — clearing debris, building temporary walls, and offering whatever help they could.
The Buttars have been roasting coffee for seven years and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. For now, they have enough roasted coffee to keep running temporarily — and enough community support to get through repairs.

Beaver Mountain opens new ‘Cabin’ lodge, but where’s all the snow?
(Julie Jag | The Salt Lake Tribune) Beaver Mountain’s new Cabin sits at the foot of the Beaver’s Face Lift.
As many of you know, Beaver Mountain just opened their brand-spanking-new Cabin — but apparently, Mother Nature didn’t get the memo.
So far, it’s been a low-tide snow year throughout the Western United States (with high temps to boot), and the Beav is no exception. Fun fact: everyone’s fave Logan Canyon ski area doesn’t make snow because conditions for drilling a well have proved unfavorable. Believe me — they’ve tried…
However, things are looking up in the forecast. “An atmospheric river will sag into Utah and bring waves of precipitation,” writes Utah’s OpenSnow forecaster, Evan Thayer. “However, temperatures are going to be extremely mild, with high snow levels and very dense snow above that. There is a chance for a cooler system around Christmas.”
Translation? It could be a sloppy mess up there — but at this point, any precip is good news!
