2025! What a year! Gnütze went from being a thought in my mind, to an actual business in late March, to completing an entrepreneurship program which was SO intense this summer, to now being at a couple of my absolute favorite farmers markets!
1. The day I got my business cards in the mail. I was so proud.
2. My first photoshoot for my website with my first packaging design (unprocessed image)
3. My very first vending event at Hampshire Pride in May!
4. My first package revision. Huge improvement, but could use more work.
5. Second package revision. Really loving the colors.
6. My setup for my first presentation during the E for All program at the Holyoke culinary school.
7. Very happy candid photo from the event. I finished my presentation so I was full of relief (not the biggest fan of public speaking.
8. Third package revision and current package (fourth in the works!!). I really love the window even though it took me a minute to warm up to it.
9. The whole family lined up for a cute photo. Current offerings in this flavor.
10. A beautiful close up of the inside of the holiday party trays.
11. A really funny photo of me at my absolute last presentation for E for All! I miss everyone so much from this program, including my mentors!
12. My nuts being featured at for the first time!! This was a huge day for me!
13. A little tour of the that you can find me at all winter long!
14. My almost too inappropriate bumper sticker.
And if you got this far, I really just want to thank YOU for all the support! My goals in 2026 are to pay myself minimum wage, post more on social media, and meet lots of cool people in my community whether they eat nuts or not! I really love talking to the people I meet at markets. If you see me, say hi!
Love,
Alisha
