Clearly Canadian #Holiday2024

Back in 1987, more than 30 years ago at the Tillicum reservoir on Silver Star Road in the Monashee mountains overlooking Vernon, BC, a Canadian phenomenon was born. A local entrepreneur had the idea of mixing a little flavor to his crisp, cold mountain water, putting it into glass bottles, and called it “Clearly Canadian”. With a little help from the local bottling plant, he grew this little premium sparkling water brand into a sought-after favorite all around the world.

I remember in high school, this was my go-to drink of choice. It was fun to discover as an adult that now Clearly Canadian comes in cans! My fave flavor is Blackberry, and the Tropical is a close second! I like them all! And you will too! A fun drink to have around this holiday season!

Sandos From Rudi's Bakery #Holiday2024

Voyage Foods, the Bay Area food innovation company that combines breakthrough technology and upcycled wholesome ingredients to secure the future of our favorite foods, announced this year its first business-to-business partnership with Rudi’s Mountain Bakery in launching a line of nut-free Sandos. 

Rudi’s Rocky Mountain Bakery, known for its selection of organic and gluten-free breads and frozen innovations including Texas Toast and Breakfast Sandwiches, was thrilled to announce the launch of nut-free Sandos made with Rudi’s Signature Country Morning White Bread and Voyage’s Roasted Seed Spread. Available at Whole Foods Market nationally, Sandos will be offered in two varieties: Grape and Strawberry. “We’re pleased to announce our partnership with Voyage to create Rudi’s nut-free Sandos,” says Justin Gold, founder of Justin’s and Chief Innovation and Strategy Officer at Rudi’s Mountain Bakery. “Voyage’s roasted seed blend is creamy and delicious, pairing perfectly with Rudi’s offering PB&J lovers a delicious, nut-free, and portable alternative that can be enjoyed anywhere, anytime.”

Last year, the portable peanut butter and jelly sandwich market reached almost $900 million in retail sales. A lack of allergen-friendly options within this skyrocketing food category led Rudi’s Mountain Bakery, and Justin Gold, to develop Sandos with Voyage’s help: an on-the-go nut-free sandwich catered to the 1 in 10 adults and 1 in 13 children currently affected by peanut allergies. Offering 9 grams of protein, Sandos come with Rudi’s soft, fluffy bread, and Voyage’s roasted seed spread, perfect for lunch boxes, after-school-snacks, and protein pick me ups.

Founded in 1976 as a small Colorado-based business, Rudi's Organic Bakery has provided delicious, wholesome organic and gluten-free breads made with small-batch baking techniques to families across the country for nearly five decades. Rudi's lineup of small-batch breads includes sourdough loaves, English muffins, wraps, buns, and much more, which are available in stores nationwide, including Whole Foods Market and Kroger.

Voyage Foods was born out of a deep hunger to harness the power of technology to secure the future of our favorite foods. Founded in 2021 by Adam Maxwell and Kelsey Tenney, a duo with extensive experience in food science, their team is able to recreate the classics without exploiting their source ingredients, starting with a Peanut-Free Spread and Hazelnut-Free Spread now available nationwide at Walmart and on Amazon. Voyage's products are always made from real, wholesome ingredients and are more sustainable by using less water and land than their traditional counterparts. In addition to the Spreads, Voyage also sells Cocoa-Free Chocolate and Bean-Free Coffee to other food manufacturers and within the foodservice channel.

Old Trapper Jerky #Holiday2024

Old Trapper's famous Old Fashioned beef jerky was born 50 years ago in the back of a small roadside grocery store on the outskirts of Tillamook, Oregon. After years of hard work and sacrifice, Old Trapper had grown to become a favorite among local jerky lovers and connoisseurs nationwide, but the best was still yet to come.

Today, they’re the country’s second-largest beef jerky manufacturer, and their new facility is fully operational. They are ready to take the next big step in a company story that began in a humble grocery store way back in 1969.

For any jerky lover, this is sure to be a treat this holiday season!
