Livin' Spoonful products now available at Rainbow Grocery

[Guest guest]

Howdy all,

 

First of all, let me say Thanks! to all of you who have supported us at Madison

Market

so far. They are very pleased with the response and are continuing to increase

their

order volume and selection. I just received an e-mail from Ani Phyo of Smart

Monkey

Foods ( for whom we distribute to Madison Market) saying that she has been

receiving

positive feedback about the availability of their products in Seattle. My wife,

Sue, and I

started Livin' Spoonful to help spread the raw truth by enticing people with

delicious

choices...to show skeptics that there's plenty more to it than salads and

apples.

 

In the 1 1/2 years since we began, 4 more small start ups in Portland have begun

offering organic raw treats. I'm very happy to be able to offer support to these

new

companies by sharing access to markets through my distribution chain. I

encourage

any of you who may be thinking about taking such an adventure to live your dream

and not look back! I bet you would be surprised by how much sincere appreciation

you'd receive for your efforts. To that effect, I gladly offer to share my

experience as a

first-time business owner and pioneer in raw food marketing to anyone who may be

interested.

 

I wanted to also let everyone know that some of our products are available at

Rainbow

Grocery. I'm not familiar with the geography of Seattle, so I don't know how

close

these two stores may be. I say this because due to shipping constraints, Rainbow

Grocery is carrying only our dehydrated crackers and cookies. There is some

possiblity that they could carry the refrigerated line up, but it would require

a

significant number of people requesting this of them. Basically, they would have

to

start buying produce from Organically Grown Company, the shipper that I use to

move my refrigerated products outside of Portland. Do many raw foodies shop

there?? I don't know, but I mention it just in case. To their credit, they are

excited to

be getting our stuff and seem to be committed to serving the raw community to

the

best of their ability.

 

We continue to get e-mails every week from folks who almost can't believe that

something so good and unique as a raw dish could be available for purchase.

Thanks

again for all the support. May we all be living examples of the raw truth.

Thank you so much for offering these products in the marketplace! We have

tried several different products (from Madison Market), and they are good.

(Hopefully, more hummus is en route...we bought the last 2 cartons on

Saturday! We like the sundried tomato variety best.)

Hi Sue,

 

For the record, Madison Market receives our products on Saturday mornings.

Rainbow

Grocery receives every other week ( if they order) on Thursday.

 

I'm glad you like the Sundried Tomato flavor...it's my favorite, too!

I'll have to keep that in mind. I just went down to Madison Market and

they were completely out of it all! I guess they need to order larger

amounts from you!
