Business has been absolutely wonderful! Raw Melissa products continue to pop-up in more and more health food stores, and this week, a WONDERFUL coffee shop right in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City called Nobrow Coffee and Tea started carrying the Raw Melissa products because its vegan customers wanted a vegan pastry to go with their coffee and tea!
Now for the big news: I have teamed up with two other wonderful women, who are also raw food business owners, to open up a raw vegan store and cafe called The Food Garden! Agi, of Agi's Raw Foods, and I both needed a larger commercial kitchen for our growing businesses so we decided to get together and find one that would suit our needs, together. We found a third business owner, Julia, of Julia's SunSprouts, and we were set to continue expansion. The kicker is that the kitchen we found also has a store-front so without intending to, we won ourselves not only a great kitchen, but a terrific little place we can sell our amazing products out of. It's been a lot of hard work. We've done painting and ordering and cleaning and moving, but this Saturday from 9am-5pm, we are having our Grand Opening and if you're in Utah, we invite you to come by. We'll be giving out TONS of free samples of some of the best raw food on the planet Agi, happily painting! > and the company is sure to be wonderful, as lots of raw-foodists, and those who just like a healthy treat now and then, will come together to celebrate this long-awaited opening.

P.S. I just added the MOST delicious Raw Ice Creams to my line of desserts. Savor some samples at The Food Garden on Saturday!

Hi - Does The Food Garden have a website? I took one of Agi's raw food prep classes a couple of years ago and it was great! Also, do you have an address for the Coffee Shop that carries your products? I love the raw chocolate strawberry cheese cake!
Melissa, I am very interested in your raw food products but was wondering if there is a way to find out how many calories each of your products contain. I am a calorie counter on my way to losing a lot of weight and would like to incorporate your foods into my diet. How do I find that out
Hi! I own a company called Raw Melissa that sells extraordinary healthy gourmet desserts and offers nutrition coaching and education. I was the "Sweets Expert" for The Healthy Living Kids Show, an internet tv program out of Valencia, California, and was a contributor to the recently released book, "Happy Days, Healthy Living" by Cathy Silvers of Happy Days. I have a new cookbook and DVD series that will be available on June 1, 2010. Our products at Raw Melissa are made from only fresh fruits and vegetables, raw nuts and seeds, cold pressed healthy oils and natural sweeteners. We recycle all we can, we use very small amounts of electricity and almost all our packaging is made from materials that are so biodegradable, they can be composted. We strive to buy locally as often as possible and lastly and most importantly, we don't sell anything that doesn't taste absolutely delicious.
I'm also lucky enough to have been a doula (birth assistant) and childbirth educator for over a decade, having helped several hundred couples during pregnancy and childbirth and am also one of two DONA Approved Doula Trainers in Utah.
