I am conviced I am an entreprenuer – heart and soul.  I love thinking up how to make an extra buck or 10. 

Some years ago, my family made and sold baked goods at a local farmer’s market.  You know -breads, cookies, muffins – stuff like that.  Nothing out of the ordinary, although we used only natural ingredients and organic whenever we could.

I was always experimenting with replacing the “badies”: white sugar, brown sugar, white flour, refined grains, etc. with healthier ingredients.  So our cookies were made of whole wheat flour, butter, Sucanat, and such.

But the item that set us apart was a granola type bar that I modified the recipe to be all wholesome ingredients.  We called it the Olympic Munch bar.  I could go on and on about how we developed the whole business and I will bring it up from time to time as this blog rolls on.  But for now, suffice it to say that I have successfully built a real business.  I have cried, cheered, screamed, all in the same day.  Owning your own business does that to you.

As of today, though, I sold my “baby”.  The Olympic Munch bar has been sold and is in the hands of another more capable family. 

Good bye, munchie.
