The Fifes' Path to Bighorn Fudge Co.
Previously, Jeremy and Sarah managed
Cool Spring Farm Kennel in Lexington, MI, focusing on dog training and behavior modification. Their transition to the confectionery business with Bighorn Fudge Co. marks a return to Borrego Springs—a community they hold dear and a place they look forward to serving in a new capacity.
Vision and Aspirations Under New Ownership
Before acquiring
Bighorn Fudge Co., the Fifes were already familiar with the business as customers and appreciated its role as a community hub. Their acquisition was driven by a love for the store’s offerings and its potential for growth. Jeremy describes Bighorn Fudge Co. as "a community gathering place," and they plan to expand its product line to include an array of new treats like cakes, cheesecakes, and a broader selection of pastries, while continuing the traditions established by the previous owners, Lee and Andi Bosworth.
Upcoming Enhancements at Bighorn Fudge Co.
Under their leadership, significant updates are planned for Bighorn Fudge Co. Jeremy notes, "Over the summer, we will be giving the Bighorn Fudge Business some updating." These updates include possibly extending business hours and broadening the product assortment, all aimed at better serving the community’s needs.
Integrating Passions: From Canine Training to Confectionery
In addition to their plans for the store, Jeremy intends to continue offering dog training services in California, a testament to their ongoing commitment to combine their passions. With his recognized expertise, Jeremy is eager to assist local dog owners in achieving successful outcomes. He encourages those interested to engage with their previous work through
Cool Spring Farm’s reviews and to reach out for training sessions.
A Message from Jeremy & Sarah Fife, New Owners of Bighorn Fudge Co.
"Previously to purchasing Bighorn Fudge, Sarah and I owned and ran Cool Spring Farm Kennel in Lexington, MI. Our focus was on all levels of dog training and behavior modification. Sarah holds a Masters degree in Psychology and I am a veteran of the US Air Force (Desert Shield / Desert Storm).
Bighorn Fudge is an interesting business. We see it as a community gathering place with a focus on sweet treats, coffee, Espresso, Ice Cream and candy. The store was a stop on our winter visit to Borrego Springs. So, before we were owners, we were customers. We liked the product and saw an evolution of the business from a new product assortment stand point. We plan on adding cakes, cheese cake, numerous other types of confectionary and an expanded morning pastry assortment. We will continue to offer all the great products offered by Lee and Andi Bosworth. While we loved running the kennel and being around dogs all day, we really missed southern California and the lifestyle. So when we saw the opportunity to move back full time, Bighorn Fudge was the catalyst. Further, we really hit it off with the Bosworths and it just seemed right from the beginning.
Since moving back to Borrego full time, the word has gotten out about my dog training ability and I want to continue to help dog owners achieve great outcomes with their dogs. We have the very good fortune of having 4 awesome German Shepherd's. Two of which hold international working titles. This gives us the ability to demo with our dogs and model what optimum on leash and off leash proficiency looks like. I will continue with the training business in California and begin marketing those services to the community soon. I would encourage all interested parties to read our Cool Spring Farm
google reviews and contact me personally for a training session.
Over the summer, we will be giving the Bighorn Fudge Business some updating and we look forward to opening soon. We will look at some new expanded hours, expanded product assortment and will work very hard to earn the business of all the great folks/customers we have met over the last few months. Borrego Springs is a great place to live and work and we sincerely appreciate all the support we've received so far.
Thank you everyone and we will see you soon!"

BSCCA Brings Music to Community and Students The Marcia Forman Band performed a free community concert on Sunday, April 12, at the Borrego Springs Library, followed by an interactive concert for local students on Monday morning. The Sunday performance provided open access to live music for the community, while the Monday program brought musicians directly into a school setting, where students experienced a more hands-on and educational presentation. Student concerts are a core part of what the Borrego Springs Community Concert Association (BSCCA) provides each season. In addition to public performances, the organization coordinates programs that introduce students to live music, instruments, and different styles in a structured environment. Founded in 1975, BSCCA is an all-volunteer nonprofit that produces concerts for the community while also supporting music education for local youth. The elementary school concert reflected that mission in action, connecting Borrego Springs students with professional musicians and live performance. Elizabeth Renner and Jinny Perrin, both retired music teachers and BSCCA board members, help guide the student programs by bringing hands-on music education and experience directly to local students. The weekend highlighted both sides of BSCCA’s work: expanding access to live music locally and creating meaningful exposure to the arts for the next generation.

The organization is supported through grants and donations from both residents and visitors who use the park. Jeff Sloan, president of the board, said, “There’s a group of people who really love the park and they put their effort into making it a wonderful place to visit.” What It Takes to Maintain the Park Maintaining Christmas Circle is an ongoing responsibility.
