The woman-owned location specializes in creating appetizing presentations of premium meats, cheeses, sweets and more, to help clients “Celebrate Everything” in unforgettable style

ELLICOTT CITY, Maryland (October 8, 2025) – Graze Craze®, the leader in designing beautiful charcuterie boards and boxes for occasions of all kinds, has opened its first Maryland location at 3570 St. John’s Lane, Suite 104B, in the Frederick Crossing shopping center in Ellicott City. The 800-square-foot store is owned and operated by Deanna Furman, a financial services professional who is eager to use her longtime love of bringing people together to delight in charcuterie.

Graze Craze is a fast-growing group of charcuterie stores whose expert teams of Grazologists™ are dedicated to helping clients “Celebrate Everything.” They curate charcuterie boards using a variety of high-quality ingredients, including premium meats and cheeses, fresh fruits, crisp vegetables, and more, accompanied by house-made sauces, dips, and jams. Each food display features a complementary blend of flavors, colors and textures for the ultimate grazing experience.

“I’m thrilled to build a business creating delectable bites for everyone to enjoy, and Graze Craze has taken grazing to the next level,” said Furman, who was a senior mortgage loan officer for over 20 years. “We eliminate the guesswork of feeding a party and the hassle of cleaning up later. It’s awesome that we’re able to unite people through our passion for entertaining and the menu’s beautifully fresh arrangements.”

The handcrafted menu incorporates a range of flavor profiles and styles to satisfy many different palates and dietary preferences, including:

• The Gone Grazey – A blend of cured meats, premium cheeses, crackers, fresh produce, nuts and other tastes.

• Sweet & Grazey – An abundance of desserts, like chocolates and baked goods, paired with sweet dips.

• The Vegegrazian – A vibrant medley of fruits, vegetables and cheese.

• Grazey for Keto – More protein and fewer sugar and carbs so that keto followers can stay on track.

• The Picnic Box – A boxed version of the four favorites listed above, perfect for date nights, intimate anniversary celebrations or day-trip picnics.

• The Game Day – A winning lineup packed with various meats, cheeses, breads and spreads that are ideal for watch parties and tailgating.

“All of our charcuterie offerings are amazing, but our favorite is the Gone Grazey,” Furman said. “There’s something for everyone, including our signature dark chocolate with pistachios, cranberries and sea salt. It’s the house-made dips, jams and hummus that I can’t choose between because I love them all!.”

The charcuterie arrangements are available in different sizes, from Char-Cutie-Cups and Grab & Graze options for nibbling to sharing-size boards with enough fresh food to feed a party. The food displays are ideal for family gatherings, weddings, graduation parties, business meetings, and luncheons, while also making for memorable corporate and personal gifts that always impress.

Graze Craze Ellicott City is open for pickup and delivery Tuesday - Friday 9 a.m. - 6 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. - 2 p.m., and Sunday for pickups from 12-1 and by appointment for tastings.
