Little Portion Hermitage: Berryville, Arkansas

The Brothers and Sisters of Charity at Little Portion Hermitage were founded by Catholic musician John Michael Talbot. Following two albums recorded for Sparrow Records in 1976 and 1977, and intrigued by the life of St. Francis of Assisi, he began studying at a Franciscan retreat center and joined the Secular Franciscans in 1978. A year later he started a house of prayer, The Little Portion, and planned to live as a hermit. But, he says, "People asked for more recordings, and I began doing a music ministry." In 1982 he, along with six others, moved to Eureka Springs, Arkansas and founded The Little Portion Hermitage.

The Brothers and Sisters of Charity is the only community of its kind in North America with canonical status from the Catholic Church. It has been formally recognized as a Public Association of the Faithful and is one of 10 communities around the globe to encompass celibate brothers and sisters, as well as single people, married couples and families. Though the latter are permitted greater latitude, the essentials are the same. All take vows of chastity, poverty and obedience appropriate for their state of life. After a devastating fire in 2008, a new chapel and associated buildings were built, and in 2013 the Little Portion Bakery was founded by John Michael's wife Viola Talbot to make wholesome, tasty, and healthful products.



Ingredients: Gluten-free flour (cornstarch, white rice flour, brown rice flour, milk powder, tapioca flour, potato starch, xanthan gum), brown sugar (sugar, molasses), blackstrap molasses, butter, raisins, pecans, eggs, leavening (baking powder, baking soda), cinnamon, ginger, salt.

My husband really enjoyed eating these brownies. He was sad when he realised he had finished the last bar.

These Hermit Bars are quite a treat and for me rate better than gingerbread. With a cup of Mystic Monk coffee, they're delicious.

In general: disappointed

Aside from delivery issues, one order arriving 12 days early and the other 6 days late, the product description indicated5 bars of 91 grams (total 455g) and that would made been the 16 ounces. However the 5 bars weighed between 57 grams and 61 grams (actual total 298g). I had expected the gluten-free recipe by it's nature would be a bit lacking in texture and that was acceptable. The overall product was good, the overall experience...not so much.

Of the gifts I sent an awnry older minister the St. Anthony's Gluten-free Hermit Bars got constant praise. If I had known that I could've just sent a dozen packs. God bless and keep you. May His face shine upon you and His glory and peace follow you now and ever more. Through Jesus I pray, Amen.

I have wanted to try these for a few years...and I think they are worth the wait! Very dense and rich, with a nice flavor that reminds me of gingerbread. Just enough nuts, raisins and spices. I really enjoyed these.

Ate Hermits as a kid on East coast. These taste exactly how I remember them and they are gluten free. Worth the purchase!
