DESSERT 

Oh Little Mustard Seed is a small, faith-based catering + events co. located in Cincinnati that specializes in South Indian cusine. We provide unique + healthy South Indian eats, offer In-Home South Indian cooking classes and we give back a portion of our sales to help fund global + local missions efforts that are near + dear to our hearts.

OLMS started out as an idea between my sister and myself. We both currently attend Crossroads Community Church in Oakley and learned about an amazing organization which they help support called Freeset. Freeset is an organization that helps to aid in the fight against sex trafficking for women and young girls in India and Nepal and I thought, wow, how can I help contribute to this cause in a tangible way. I gathered inspiration from a verse that really resonated with me stating if you have faith the size of a mustard seed nothing would be impossible for you and that you can move mountains. I'm a prime example of this it doesn't matter where you have come from, what has happened to you in the past, who society says you are, you have the power to impact someone's life in a significant way, however small your leap of faith is. 

The mustard seed is an essential and integral spice ingredient in our South Indian cuisine specifically and I thought what a perfect pairing for the naming of this faith based venture. A portion of all our proceeds goes back in to supporting the incredible missions efforts that Crossroads is doing here locally and globally.
