All throughout the year we get to go to wonderful events and trade shows. We’re serious foodies, so it’s no surprise one of our favorites is the Specialty Food Association’s “Summer Fancy Foods Show” in NYC at the Javits Center. We had a chance to explore some of the natural food and beverage brands exhibiting alongside us at the show, and we thought we’d share some of the great brands we discovered. What better way to tell the story of their products than through the words of the founders and companies themselves? Read on to learn how you can enter to win some of these great products in our Fancy Food Giveaway.
DRY Soda
Non-Alcoholic Cocktails & Organic Sodas
“Working with some of the Pacific Northwest’s leading chefs, I discovered how to use unique flavor notes to create sparkling beverages that are simple and unexpectedly palate pleasing. In 2005, I launched DRY Soda Company. We now have two lines of soda – lightly sweet, culinary-inspired DRY Sparkling sodas, and bold, fun DRY Zero Sugar sodas. I’m thrilled to have turned a personal passion into a product that so many other people are now able to enjoy. Cheers!” Drysoda.com
