A typical day in your life:

I try to wake up early to have a few quiet moments with my thoughts and some tea. I get my daughter ready, load up and drop her off at pre k before heading to Good Granoly. Typically granola production has already started upon my arrival. I check on everything then sit at my computer to answer any necessary morning emails. I spend most of my days answering questions, planning our future plans such as-developing new products, navigating grocery portals, working on organization and sales. We eat lunch as a team, I may help finish up any loose strings with production, clean up and packing orders. I try to spend some time in the afternoon with my daughter and then jump back in to finish anything that is urgent to complete that day. Once I’m back at home I try to give my full attention to my family and eat dinner together. I occasionally do work from home in the evenings, but try to keep that for exceptionally busy seasons.
