The National Zoo and Snikiddy Snacks
This is the first year that Snikiddy Snacks has participated in Boo at the Zoo at Washington DC’s National Zoo. You may be wondering what participation means… For us, as a local company, and at a zoo that we are actually members of via FONZ, this includes our entire family giving out Snikiddy Snacks to all the visitors for the zoo’s wonderful Halloween event. Friday was the first night. In the pouring down rain, Brett took the lead and gave out snacks. Last night, on a gorgeous Autumn night in DC, it was a family affair. My mom, dad, sister,…
It’s Showtime!
As we prepare for our debut at Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, CA starting this Friday, it gets a bit hectic around the house. Back in the day, we would have a 9 am flight and I would grab a bag, throw in a few pairs of jeans and be on my way.

Arriving at LAX we are met by a very excited “Saba”. We journey from the airport to Bubbie’s house and…

There are many different recommendations including cereals, mashing up your own fruits or vegetables or jarred apples…
Trojan Horse

In question are the appointees of mainstream food companies as opposed to organic food companies. Another link shows who really makes your organic brand. How do you feel about conventional food companies making their way through the back door of the organic market? I know for me I question why they have now decided to enter the market. These are companies that have for years stood by their…
10:00pm at The 9:30
A return from our busy trip out west was met with a calender entry of “Ray LaMontagne”. Right, a few months ago when our schedule had larger gaps, we purchased tickets for a concert. That concert was upon us, and with a little family help, the parents got the night off and a night out. Living near Washington DC we are graced with a cool little music venue called the 9:30 club. Ray appeared on stage at 10pm and belted out a number of songs evoking tones of Joe Cocker and Van Morrison in…
