For those of you that have been following us on our Brad's Raw Chips Facebook Page you know that we had a Fabulous February! We started off the month bringing our chips and kale to some popular stores in New York City which included Whole Foods Markets and Garden of Eden Gourmet Markets.  We had a great time introducing our chips to the city as well as feeling all the great energy that New York has to offer!  Here is Brad at the East Houston St. Whole Foods Market with their Grocery Team Leader, Melinda.



Brad's Raw Foods also had a great opportunity to work with two WEGMAN'S stores this month!  The Wegmans Market in Hunt Valley, MD as well as State College, PA welcomed us and our products to their Nature's Marketplace section.  We have had a great time talking about kale and meeting new customers while we conducted tastings throughout the month.  We really appreciate all the positive feedback about our chips and kale and the support of the Brad's Raw brand!  Here is Brad and Jaime ready to sample at Hunt Valley!  
                                           
        
Jaime is one of Brad's newest Sales Reps!  She has been traveling around to different stores and tastings with Brad.  Jaime has brought a lot of energy to Brad's Raw Office and she and Brad are excited to bring these great raw products to new stores!  Watch out for them!  You can also like Brad's Raw Foods on Facebook to see their current whereabouts! 

Also Judy of Wegmans, Brad, and Ansley in State College!  
           
 
 
Along our sample journey we have met so many wonderful people with many different health questions.  Some of you are looking for more information on transitioning to a raw food lifestyle.  Others are looking for simple tips on how to start incorporating healthy changes into your diet.  No matter where you are on your journey towards health, one simple step that Brad likes promoting is adding Green Smoothies into your diet.  Watch our You Tube video below for more instructions from Brad on making a green smoothie!

Thank you to all those who entered!  We love to see our young kids eating kale! 
   I just purchased a container of your Leafy Kale (Nasty Hot flavor) at Whole Foods and I am hooked! I ended up eating the whole package in one sitting as I could not put them down!  I am not sure why I never noticed them before at Whole Foods, but they caught my eye this trip.  With Kale being such a nutritious vegetable, these will be a staple for me from  now on!  I have not tried the chips as of yet, but I am sure I will enjoy these as well.  What a great way to "eat your vegetables"!  Thanks for such a great wholesome product!

Omg! Love, love the kale raw chips! I am now a fan! Thanks so much. A friend of mine just turned me on to these and they are fab!

- Dr. Joanna Bronfman

I just had to e-mail and say THANK YOU for creating and making available to the general public such incredibly delicious, healthy food. I am a healthy eater myself and am always cruising the aisles of the local Whole Foods for the good stuff (food that is) It is often like looking for anteed in a haystack. I struck it rich tonight when I stumbled across a bag of your Cheddar raw chips. It was love at first bite!!!! 
– Jean

I just tried vampire kale -- it is absolutely fantastic!  Thank you for a great product.  I'm looking forward to trying another flavor the next time I go to Whole Foods, Princeton.

Rebecca shares a yummy raw cooke recipe with all of us!  Enjoy! 


Typical American guy - overweight, high cholesterol, low energy, didn't sleep well.
Sound familiar?  

Then something remarkable happened. He decided to go on a predominantly raw food diet. He lost 40 lbs, dropped his cholesterol to a healthy level, and recovered his lost energy.  

But, there was something missing…he needed "to put some crunch" into his diet. With creative experimentation, a remarkable snack food line was born to satisfy this urge - Brad's Raw Foods.
