Little Tree Foods makes it Vancouver debut

Some people ask why we chose to go to Coquitlam and Ambleside. Seems random, doesn’t it? We chose Coquitlam because it’s a nice market with lots of families and very close to my place. We chose Ambleside because it was a market with lots of families and grandparents that was closer to Lindsey’s place. Trout Lake and Kitsilano are two markets that we would have loved to go to but both were not accepting new packaged goods vendors so we were out of luck of getting Tutu Bars into Vancouver. Until I got an email…

This Saturday, LTF will be at a Family Fun Day at Cambrian Hall (17th & Main) from 11am – 2pm. This event is raising funds for the Autism Society of BC and will include entertainment, toy swap, games and great vendors like us! So, if you want to come by and say hi while we are in your area of town, please come down. I’d love to see you and get your feedback.

Another great week for Little Tree Foods.

Cheers,
Rachel

We are so excited to announce that Little Tree Foods has its first official retail distributor – Beans Coffee and Tea on Cambie St. between 17th Ave. and 18th Ave. Vancouver Mums now have a great place that they can go meet friends, enjoy their lattes and pick up some yummy Tutu Bars! Original spelt is available at Beans right now. Other flavours can be ordered through our website and picked up at Beans if it’s more convenient for you. Go visit Beans and say hi to Caroline, Linden and Ben and tell them thanks for supporting local, wholesome food for kids!

Ready to Bake

I have to start my blog by thanking my amazing, visionary and incredibly hard working partner Rachel. She has done ALL the baking for the launch of the Tutu Bar. Why would that inequitable partnership be arranged? Well…because I needed a mixer.

We discovered fairly early on that a food processor does NOT make a good Tutu Bar. It grinds everything up too finely and you can’t see all the whole grain goodness. Our quality control would not allow my food processor batches through

But now…I am ready to bake! Thanks to my great sister and brother in law, we got a great deal on a Kitchen Aid Mixer. I am ready to take on my share of the baking for the next Farmers Market, July 5th! Hope to see you all there!

Wanna bet?

I’ve been busy as a bee, baking and baking and baking Tutu Bars for tomorrow’s Little Tree Foods visit to Ambleside Farmer’s Market. Any one wanna bet how many bags we are going to sell tomorrow? Can Ambleside crowd beat out the Coquitlam crowd? Hope you can come visit us tomorrow between 10am and 3pm at Ambleside.

Happy weekend!

First Day Success

Well, after months of planning, baking, tasting and deliberating, Little Tree Foods was officially launched yesterday at the Coquitlam Farmer’s Market. We weren’t sure what to expect. We had anticipated selling 34 bags and we ended up selling 33! And only 4 bags to people we knew! We got some really great feedback and now wait to hear from the people that bought this week.

Couple of shout-outs:

Thank you to Georgia, Harrison, Ollie and Ro for being such great ambassadors of the Tutu Bar. Thank you to our parents and families for all their support and contributions.

Thank you to Tutu and Logan for the inspiration. We can feel your smiles.

This week it’s to get that website up and running and get ready for the Ambleside Farmer’s Market on Sunday from 10am-2pm.

Happy eating!
Rachel
