Tom & Jenny's
 |
Candy |
Tom & Jenny met in college, founded a non-profit together, and got married years later. In her first years as a dentist, Dr. Jenny saw her patients struggle with sugar-free or low-carb candies and snacks that tasted awful, failed to satisfy cravings, and were packed with artificial ingredients. As someone with a serious sweet tooth herself, she could sympathize. So Jenny set out to create candy she could feel good about sharing, right from her own kitchen. With her husband Tom, she cooked countless test batches to create the perfect combination of flavors and ingredients that work for a keto-friendly, low-carb, low-sugar lifestyle! Along the way they found their first mentor Chef Michael Laiskonis, a recipient of the James Beard Foundation Outstanding Pastry Chef award and twice named one of the '10 Best Pastry Chefs in America.' Today, Tom & Jenny have graduated from the home kitchen to a large scale manufacturing facility. They are enjoying growing their family business along with their two small daughters, in Durham, NC. |

Baking Mixes |
My family and my health journey first began years ago when, out of necessity, my need to rethink food quickly became my passion. Looking at food labels and reading through miles of unpronounceable ingredients was very frustrating! But even more frustrating was finding that the so-called “healthy” food tasted more like cardboard than anything else. As my family and I taste-tested the limited variety available, thinking outside of the box, finding ways around mainstream ingredients, and claiming the freedom of eats n’ treats for my family quickly became my focus. Experimenting in the kitchen with simple, on hand and wholesome ingredients to recreate the beloved comfort foods and staples I had grown up with grew into gifting baggies of pre-filled ingredients for friends who’d requested them. You see, not only had I discovered that there was a real need for easy to make, family-friendly foods, but I quickly discovered that my success in the kitchen didn’t necessarily mean theirs. I wanted to create something everyone could make, no matter their skill set, that was consistently amazing! Thus CorEats Mixes was born! CorEats is a play on the word “core,” which Merriam Webster defines as “a central and often foundational part.” I couldn’t agree more, which is why the CorEats foundation is built on delicious and wholesome food that everyone can enjoy- Amazing food with NO hidden preservatives, free of gluten, grain, dairy, refined sugar, and soy. Food is one of life’s greatest joys- No matter your dietary preferences, nothing should hold you back from eating the foods you love! Rather, it just means you need to rethink how to make them! Eat happy, eat wholesome, and never compromise on delicious! My name is Corry and I am the founder and the “Cor” behind CorEats! |

Terranean Herbs & Spices
 |
Spices and Snacks |
As a Lebanese-American, I grew up enjoying authentic Lebanese za’atar when I visited my parents’ village every summer. I launched Terranean Herbs and Spices to create real authentic, filler-free za’atar products like the ones I grew up enjoying. My products are high quality, the same that I would serve my own family (including our three kids) and our guests, because that is the experience I want everyone to have with za’atar. Once you enjoy it the right way, there is no turning back! |
