After 5 years we still get excited when a retailer approves our brand- even if that retailer has one location. Hummus Goodness is humbled that True Food Kitchen has selected our products for their new retail location in Scottsdale, AZ! An extra thank you to the team at Pod Foods for your support on this launch. If you're in the area check out their selection of products focused on whole, real food ??

Last week Lara Lozser was invited to attend The Greenbrier for Foodbuy USA 2024 Partner Summit! "As a new supplier, I truly appreciated the opportunity to connect and learn more about FoodBuy's vision and goals for emerging and diverse brands like us." Top 3 Highlights: 1- Learning first hand how FoodBuy works and meeting key people from so many different sectors. It was really eye opening! 2- Seeing our products at the Networking Lunch where over 700 people had the chance to try the best hummus! 3- The Enchanted Forest Dinner (gorgeous decor, great conversations. She's still talking about how great the raw bar was!) Oh and definitely cannot forget Goo Goo Dolls in concert! "It was so fun to meet the other members of the accelerator program, chat over shared experiences and plan for the future. Can't wait to go back next year!" #foodbuy #food #womenownedbusiness #femalefounder

Ok so we're a little late on this- Happy National Intern Day! I can wholeheartedly say hiring an Intern was one of the best decisions we've made this year. When we posted our Marketing internship opportunity, Alayna Ruddy was the first person I interviewed. On that call she showed a level of confidence and excitement that made ME more confident and excited about this opportunity. I've learned just as much from her as hopefully she's learned from us. So grateful that she applied and we look forward to having her join us in a more permanent role soon!

The Hummus Goodness team is growing! If you follow us on Instagram you've most likely seen lots of Alayna on there! She's doing an amazing job bringing Hummus Goodness's social media (and newsletter!) to life with fun posts, reels and stories.

Pinch me! We were recently invited to take part in the FMI- The Food Industry Association Supplier Diversity Event hosted by our friends at Meijer To be one of 4 companies selected was truly an honor. The Meijer team does so much more than just talk the talk- they walk the walk on Diversity initiatives everyday with events like this that highlight diverse and women-owned companies that they see potential in. Thank you to Meijer's SD team for believing in us and allowing our founder Hannah (Hanady) Awada to tell our story.
