Zaid and Maitham in Stockholm
I wonder how it might impact my sense of identity to chew my own face off my only id—even a fake one—for a chance to live in a country that I knew very little about and where people spoke a language I didn’t know.

We have added our Maple Rosemary granola and muesli to the online store! A new batch is being made tonight, so make sure to order yours soon.
This is part of what I love about working with refugees:it’s a daily reminder that we—our city, our country, and despite all our own problems—can still be a place of hope and refuge and opportunity for people who feel lucky to be alive.My feeling is that now is an important a time as any in our country’s history to be welcoming refugees—and for our own sake.We have a lot to learn from them.
I’m working on a little story about Zaid and Maitham, the two Iraqi refugees who have been working with us the last few months, so make sure you check back in with us in a few.Especially those of you who frequent the farmer’s markets where they sell our granola might enjoy hearing more about these brothers and their adventures on their journey from Baghdad to Providence.
Pina Colola will amaze you if you're lucky enough to get some before we sell out. It's made with low-sugar pineapple, premium macadamia nuts, and organic coconut flakes.
