Natural Products Expo East

This past weekend we exhibited at one of our largest industry tradeshows -- Natural Products Expo East. These shows are where we meet with grocery stores managers, buyers, and distributors to show them our products and encourage them to carry our items so you can find them in the grocery stores where you shop. When you buy from us online or sign up for our newsletter, we always ask you where you shop. This information is important to us because it helps us know the people we need to meet, and it gives us clout with the grocery store to be able to say that we know people are shopping in their store and would buy Cherrybrook Kitchen products.


We sign up for shows like this a year in advance and make plans throughout the year for what our tradeshow booth will look like. Today's pictures show you how "hands on" we are at Cherrybrook as we pack up for the show. This year the show was in Boston which is right down the road from us so we loaded and delivered everything ourselves!

So many things to talk about -- FAAN Walks, Expo East......

It's been a few days since we've checked in. We've been really busy doing all kinds of fun stuff. It will take a few days to bring you up to date so check back often!

Two weekend ago we were at the FAAN Walk in Long Island, NY. Here are some pictures from that fun day.

Baltimore FAAN Walk

This past weekend we were at the Baltimore FAAN walk... it was a fun day.

We're honored!

Cherrybrook Kitchen was recently honored to read in "Mama Sophia's Soul Kitchen" blog that she and her daughter are fans of ours. Sophia loves to cook (noted by all the great ideas she has on her blog). While she mostly cooks from scratch, Cherrybrook Kitchen mixes are a staple in her household. Sophie and The Princess especially like CBK Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix, CBK Chocolate Cake Mix, and CBK Chocolate Frosting.

A word from a FAAN Walk friend

The most rewarding part about life at Cherrybrook Kitchen is the kind notes and cute pictures that we get from you. The following note and picture was sent to us from Jan. We met Jan and Jake at the recent FAAN Walk in Long Branch, NJ.



"Jake is 4 and he is severely allergic to wheat, dairy, eggs, peanuts, fish and seafood. We started using your products on his first birthday. He loves the chocolate chip cookies, and the brownies. What sets it apart from the other mixes he can have is the taste. Your mixes are delicious! Thank you for making them. We love Cherrybrook Kitchen!" -- Jan




Jan has also posted a YouTube video of the fun that TeamJake had at the FAAN Walk. You can see it here. Click here to see it.

Richmond, VA FAAN Walk

This past weekend, Cherrybrook Kitchen participated in the very first FAAN Walk in Richmond, VA. Despite the forecast for rainy weather, almost 350 walkers turned out for this event. The rain held off for the entire morning, and there was even some sunshine to welcome the walkers at the end of the walk. Laura from CBK grew up in Virginia so she welcomed the opportunity to travel to this event so she could not only meet FAAN friends but enjoy some time with her Virginia girlfriends. Laura often talks with her friends about how humbling her job is because people are so appreciative of what we do -- it's very fulfilling to know that kids are able to enjoy a birthday cake for the first time. Laura's friends joined her at the FAAN Walk and were able to experience that first-hand. It was a fun weekend.

A Fun Day

NFCA 5th Anniversary Celebration -- Appetite for Awareness

Last Wednesday, Cherrybrook Kitchen joined the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness in Philadelphia to celebrate their 5th anniversary. The Appetite for Awareness event furthered the mission of raising awareness and funding for celiac disease by featuring 35 chefs from some of Philadelphia's highly acclaimed restaurants demonstrating their gluten-free cooking capabilities and competing for "gluten-free dish of the year." In addition to all the other FANTASTIC gluten free food there, Cherrybrook Kitchen sampled our new Gluten Free Dreams Vanilla Graham Mini Cookie and our new Ready-to-Spread Chocolate Frosting.

Let us know if you were there and what you thought of the event.
