I love entrepreneurs. My dad has owned his own business for
years, and I’ve always admired him for having the courage and ambition to
pursue his dreams. Now he does what he loves, and it has inspired me to want to do the same.
Therefore, when I learned that my good friend, Elvira
Papajianne Garnett, started up her own business during a time in her life when
many are retiring to Florida, I was so very proud of her. I used to sit in
Elvira's dining room every week and partake in all of the wonderful Greek
pastries she made. Now folks in the DC area get to do the same!
The Wandering Zorba bakes all of the scrumptious Greek deserts
you would expect ,such as baklava and kourabiedes, as well as savory delights
like spanakopita and cheese pies. Elvira started the traveling bakery with her
son, and they started out selling at local farmer’s markets and catering to local businesses. Now, they've attracted the interests of cooking and farming celebrities the Beekman
boys who have featured The Wandering Zorba on their website.
Previously Elvira’s goodies were only available in the cozy confines
of her kitchen, but now she can be found wandering to places such as Annandale
Farmer’s Market, Del Rey Farmer’s Market, and West End Farmer’s Market in the
D.C. area.
If you want to view some of her mouth-watering yummies, check

I think anyone who has an idea for a business and works hard to make it happen is to be commended. That takes a lot of courage, at any age!
