A Taste of Tradition at Sweetness and Light

Among the many quaint businesses lining the streets of the picturesque Victorian town, Ferndale’s Sweetness and Light (554 Main St.) has earned its place as a fixture. In operation for more than 50 years, the candy shop has continuously churned out fine chocolates and sweets for generations of Humboldtians and visitors to enjoy. While ownership has changed hands a few times in those five decades, the recipes and the mission have remained much the same. Making quality hand-dipped truffles, chocolate bars, bonbons and more is no easy feat, but owners Tami and Matthew Toste, who have sat at the helm of the business now for 20 years, have not shied away from the challenge. Their investment in their business and in their community is deeply rooted. Both Tami and Matthew are Ferndale natives, and high school sweethearts.
