Opportunity

(post by Samantha)

Hello wonderful, amazing people!

Thank you so much for reading this blog. It has been a little while since the GreentFest. The Festival itself was such a success. We established ourselves with the Maryland community. This is so perfect because after the festivals we received orders from a slew of new stores in that region. This is all thanks to Marian. Her parents live in Maryland and she knows the lay of the land. She knows of all of the health-minded stores and is committed to getting our products there.

Our customer list grows everyday. Including today! We are really working on the workability of our business. Today Ian and I made around 1500 macaroons all by ourselves. Its amazing what two people can do! We've gotten pretty good at it. In December, that is all going to change. We will be receiving a major piece of machinery that is going to scoop our macaroons for us! The machine has the capability to scoop 2500 macaroons in ONE HOUR! Today we spent over three hours scooping our 1500. We are going to have so much more time. I think that both Ian and I would love the time to catch up with customers and move forward on other projects. Another change is that we are moving into house together on Lake Cayuga. That is another change that I am looking forward to.

I have been super inspired about business especially since my involvement in Landmark Education. I am currently involved in a course where I am commuting to New York City once a week. It may seem crazy but I have been learning so many amazing technics for living my life powerfully. It has brought me so much which is why this commute is no big deal. I am so grateful to Ian and Marian for allowing me to rearrange life so that I can go there. Ian has been DJing...on his radio show at a club in town. We had a great Halloween! He has also been riding his motorcycle often especially since he purchased a heated jacket liner which will extent his riding season. Go Ian.

So what else is new? We have been honored to be chosen by an Ithaca College student, Drea, who is interested in photojournalism. She did her midterm project on us and wrote an amazing article with beautiful pictures. She is also using us for her final project. We are so flattered and so excited by her work. What an opportunity to have some professional articles and photos to use for various projects! The photo above is by her, Drea Kasianchuk.

Other news is that our chocolate sauce is going to be featured in VegNews Magazine! Check out the review and picture (taken by Nydia Williams) in the January/February issue. How cool is that? I feel so famous!

So there is a little update on the lives of Samantha, Ian and our Emmy's Organics family! Talk to you soon!
