Our Story
In Houston, TX there lives a woman . . . .
who loves playing
with food and has a penchant for raw, natural foods. Her name is Patricia
Greer and she is a co-founder of Central
City Co-op. Every week she was faced with the dilemma of what
to do with leftover organic produce from the Co-op. After donating
the majority of left-overs to the S.E.A.R.C.H.
Project, Stone
Soup, and the Gospel Light Mission, Patricia began experimenting
in her kitchen at home and soon Co-op members and class participants
at Whole Foods
Market were raving about the delicious and healthy crackers and
cookies that were being created from the excess in her kitchen.
Patricia, having too much fun creating all kinds of different snacks
was knee deep in a business creating and selling nutritious, delicious,
organic snack foods. Soon Co-op member and entrepreneur Charlotte
White bought a package of Spinach Curry
Krackers and was so impressed with the products that she began
a conversation with Patricia. The conversation turned into a friendship
and partnership and the rest of the story is up to you!
With deep, heartfelt gratitude for life and it’s bounty, yaya’s
invite all to practice harmony through every action and intention.
From Blue Marble Marketing's New Company Watch List:
"Patricia Greer was faced with boxes of left-over produce from her organic produce co-op in Houston. Never one to waste, she started creating raw-food crackers from that produce and selling them at the co-op. They were a hit, and one smitten customer even joined Patricia to grow the business. How's that for dialoguing with a customer?"
