Thanks to Dave Marks for taking these wonderful Olomomo Nuts glam shots during his trek in Nepal last month. Apparently even the Sherpas loved 'em!
If you promise to take some pics of Olomomo Nuts on your next adventure, I'll hook you up with a case of nuts for your trip! Call me.
Things are going swimmingly, and as farmers markets wind down, you may notice Olomomo Nuts showing up in a few coffee shops around town. Where can you find Olomomo Nuts if you're jonesin' in between Wednesdays and Saturdays? For starters, you can snag some nuts with your cup of joe at OZO Coffee on Arapahoe between Foothills and 55th. They roast their own coffee now, too - it's delish.

Justin Perkins and Olomomo featured on Channel 7 NewsLast week ABC News in Denver featured Olomomo Nut Company in a story about startups in the struggling economy. The opportunity to be on TV came about through winning the Bard Center Business Plan contest. You may also recognize Beckie and Toby from The Organic Dish in the spot: http://www.thedenverchannel.com/money/20230500/detail.html (There's an image of a bowl of nuts on the right - click on it or the link below it to watch the video).]]>
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...]]>
olomomo nut co featured in Boulder Daily CameraThe 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...]]>
Olomomo featured in Boulder County Business Report for winning Bard Center contestOlomomo was featued in the Boulder County Business Report after winning the Bard Center for Entrepreneurship contest. It's nice to get a little ink for this crazy little idea!]]>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.
In the pic: Rutt Bridges, a local politician, entrepreneur and investor; Justin Perkins, Founder and CEO of Olomomo Nut Company, and Catherine Kunst, Executive Director of the Bard Center for Entrepreneurship.
