Many of our fans are planning to give 3,6, or 12month gift subscriptions to our Granola-of-the-Month Club - the definition of a gift that keeps on giving, and perfect for that hard-to-buy-for friend or relative. Each month they will receive two 15oz bags of artisanal granola which, as you know, not only tastes really good, but is also helping "do good" for a community in need.
Here are a few "rough" versions of new label designs we are considering for our bags. Please post a comment letting us know which you prefer (A,B,C...etc.) and, if you don't mind, why?
Saw Kay, a refugee originally from Myanmar (Burma), arrived in Providence about 4 months ago along with his wife and 5 children after spending years in a camp in Thailand. Saw and his wife Sa Nay are Karen—one of the ethnic minority groups who have been persecuted for years by Burma’s military government. Aside from one other family who arrived with them, they are—if you can imagine this!—the
only
speakers of a language called Karen Sgaw in the state of Rhode Island.
The muesli is a bit of an alter-ego to our signature big-chunk, tooth-cracking, snacking style granola. This stuff belongs in a bowl. The recipe’s the same, but the grade is smaller and fits nicely on a spoon. You can think of it as, perhaps, the European version. Refined. Swiss.
September’s flavor was Salted Mango. We used unsulfured dried mango, macadamia nuts, pumpkin seeds, along with virgin olive oil which made it extra healthy and gave it an earthy flavor.
For those of you who are not familiar with “The Best of Rhode Island” awards, when a restaurant wins “Best of Rhode Island” they make a banner and hang it outside their business all year long. Granted, Rhode Island is not a big state, but still…not too shabby. We’ll take it, wave our banner proudly – and hopefully see a boost in Granola of the Month subscriptions.
