One of the startup tips we learned from David Cohen that helps you to be successful with your business is the idea of “scratching your own itch.” It’s certainly something that resonates with the Foodzie team, because as foodies ourselves we feel like there isn’t a good place out there to discover products from small artisan food producers. The marketplace we are building will solve our own problem. I find that a lot of small food producers tend to do the same.

Two Moms in the Raw is a local Boulder, CO producer who makes raw granola and crackers. Shari, the owner, was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and after exploring all options, she looked to heal and improve her condition naturally. Shari believes that food in its natural state without all the additives and pesticides is what the body needs to heal and feel good. Shari is on a raw diet and because of these changes has continued to see her condition improve.

When she looked for raw snacks that she could take on the go, she couldn’t find much, thus Two Moms in the Raw was born! She makes several varieties of granola and crackers and sells them at the Boulder Farmers Market. The booth always seems busy so it seems as though Shari is not only just solving her own problem, but a lot of other people’s too.
