Gardening is usually thought of as an activity one does throughout the spring or summer – but did you know that fall season is one of the best times to garden? The blazing summer sun is waning, so you don’t have to worry about beating the heat. Although, the sunshine is still warm enough to feel comfortable outside and it keeps the soil from freezing. We’ve made a list of plants that would be perfect to grow in your fall garden this season. Check it out!

Puzzled Produce
September 1, 2016 by
Did you know that many of the plants we eat on a daily basis are often categorized as something they’re not? When you were a child, you were probably shocked when someone first explained that a tomato was actually a fruit! (If no one told you that…well, you’re probably shocked right now!) Let’s uncover the other produce we’ve wrongly identified throughout the years….
BumbleBars are BETTER.
September 1, 2016 by
More and more, snack bars clutter grocery store aisles. Rainbows of different colored packaging streak the shelves with unproven health claims, false nutrition statements, and exaggerated information. Few products stand out amongst the many as being honest, ethical, and health driven. BumbleBar is proud to be one of those few.

Be Brave! Try Something New!
July 12, 2016 by
Do you remember the last time you tried something new and found your next favorite thing? How did that happen? Maybe a friend cooked for you or let you try their favorite snack? Maybe you tried a new restaurant? Did you read a great Yelp review and decide to give a new bakery a shot? I recently discovered a delicious thing while I was on vacation in New York and stopped by Double Dutch Espresso in Harlem everyday before I went out sightseeing. Avocado toast seems like a thing everyone knew about but me! It’s an amazingly simple combination that has a toasty and savory flavor profile that provides healthy fats and protein. You just toast the bread of your choice and top it with mashed avocado. I drizzle mine with Sriracha and olive oil. Delicious!

Seed to Feed
March 30, 2016 by
Ever hear of the seed-to-feed movement? Actually, I just made it up this morning to describe some of what we do. I bet you did not know that we grind our own seed and nut butters to put in the gluten free cookies and bars we make! Each small batch is made fresh.
Check out the humble yet nutrient-dense sunflower seeds we use in our handcrafted seed butter for the clean label food we make for our co-packing clients. First, we start with super fresh delicious raw unsalted sunflower seeds. Then, we mill them in our floor standing food processor. Next, we cool the sunflower butter on trays to maintain its’ freshness. Finally, we make delicious, simple clean food with our premium sunflower seed butter!
