It's time to order some nuts!  Our online store is now open. Order 4-packs or a la cart! This summer we're featuring four wicked good flavors of roasted almonds and pecans that have been selling like mad at the farmers markets in Boulder and Longmont, Colorado.  The newest flavor, Mango Zinger AlmondsTM, are a zesty little combo of sweet, spicy, sour, and salty - lots of flavor going on in these little nuts.  Read on about the other ridiculous flavors we're brewing...

The Boulder Daily Camera featured us Monday in the Business Plus section.  It's pretty fun that we were featured with our landlords, The Organic Dish, and that two natural and organic food companies from Boulder won a tech-heavy business plan contest in Denver!  Read on...

How cool is that? Yesterday, with the help of Peter Genuardi, my brother Dave Perkins, and Louisa Jenkins (and lots of great advice from older brothers, friends and smart advisors), we won ourselves a little contest at the Bard Center for Entrepreneurship, where I did my MBA program. I'm just tickled. The little check in the picture below will sure help us grow our business a bit, and we'll be signing on with the Boulder Innovation Center this summer to help take things forward.

I think we have a chance to do something fun and useful here - create the best darn nut products available, and solve the "protein problem" in coffee shops while we're at it. I guess the judges agreed.

It was really gratifying that two local natural and organic companies placed top two in a contest dominated by tech companies. Even more gratifying that the second place winner was The Organic Dish. Um, we use their kitchen to roast our nuts by moonlight. They're our landlords. How funny is that? They had a really great presentation, and I highly recommend their organic food ready to bake in 15 mins - super delish.

So now that we finally have something to talk about, we decided to get Olomomo a little twitter feed - follow us here: @olomomo.

And we've got a new look, too.  Thanks to all of our friends and customers who helped us get a start last year - we sold over 4,000 bags of nuts! 

This year, we're thrilled to be a new vendor at the Boulder County Farmers Market.  We're exclusively selling at the farmers markets in Boulder and Longmont due in part to their mission to support local agriculture. But we're hard at work to share our exotic roasted nuts in a few local coffee shops in Boulder by the end of the year.

Here's what else is new:

• our almond products are all organic!
• we've got a great new team!
• all of our packaging is now biodegradable
• we've renamed our products
• we launched a great new flavor - Cosmic Masala
• we have a new online schwag store - t-shirts, hats and more, with profits going to 1well.org.
