THE COOKIE BOYS
June 2008 - Present
Ten+ years ago Jeffrey and Joseph Heilman decided to take mom's cookie recipe and start going door to door with fresh hot cookies. They sold out in 20 minutes! The following week they sold again, then again... then there was the week they didn't go. Our neighbor's came knocking on the door!!
In 2016 Jeffrey went full throttle to get the business "ship shape" by getting a business title, zoning letters and permits from the county and FDA, taking ownership and making most of the big business decisions for the company.

Jeffrey competed on National Television in NYC for The Food Network television show "Teen Chopped".

Unschooling in America by Jessica Heilman
"America is in DIRE need of Education Reform. Grading a child based on an antiquated grading system is KILLING the creativity and inspirations of the youth in America.
Children are expected to "earn" straight A's in areas they are not gifted or interested in. Their very health and mental well being is taxed and they are left grasping for straws. The suicide rate in High School is absolutely alarming and totally preventable!
Twelve years ago we as a family decided to forgo all traditional education in favor of 'project based free play' learning. Our children have been on Nationally Ranked television shows, competed at the Junior Olympic level, they have traveled across country, started their own businesses and preformed on stages with professionals.
Just saying 'NO' to textbooks, State testing and organized learning has been EXACTLY what our children have needed to build their self esteem, gumption, and over all zeal for life!"
This book will be coming out soon - TBA
