I've been pretty quiet lately, on social media and IRL. Heads down since taking the helm at Awakened Foods, which we have since combined with Cybele's Free-to-Eat 🎉

Tons of hard work done by an amazing team. Much to do, but in the past six months we've accomplished so much! 🏆

We ramped up a whole new allergen-free production facility for cookies and launched our first new product as a combined Awakened / Free to Eat team, our Free to Eat Ancient Grain Pops. 🍿

These things are amazing...if you like snacking you will absolutely freaking love these. 🥰

We put in the time to sample + demo. We invested in displays and merchandising. 🤑

Most importantly, we have f'ing amazing products that people love to eat, made in our own factory by wonderful people who work unbelievably hard to create + produce better for you snacks. 🏋️

So today I'm proud to announce, that in addition to Whole Foods Market, Kroger (King Soopers), Natural Grocers, and other great retailers, our Free to Eat Ancient Grain Pops are now available in Target! 🥳

Note, these amazing Free to Eat Ancient Grain Pops are only available for now in select regions (eg Rocky Mountains), but are also available online through Amazon and at https://www.cybelesfreetoeat.com/

(Our allergen-free cookies are available nationwide at Walmart, Whole Foods, etc)

Amazing founders doing amazing things!!!

Congrats to Lin Jiang and the whole team at Yishi Foods (Consumer Ventures portfolio company) for another great product launch!!!

We've tried these and they are truly fantastic...unlike (and better than) any pancakes you have ever had before!

Yishi has launched a new line of pancake and waffle mixes, seeking to capture a share of the $202 billion breakfast food market while continuing to bring Asian flavors to the mainstream.
