Show Notes
Who can't love honeybees? Andrea Wade loves the little, hard-working creatures who produce the most natural sweetener in the world. They form the basic ingredient in her all natural, low-sugar syrups that produce some of the best lemonade you ever tasted, and give you other fruit flavors for refreshing drinks or flavor additions to your dishes. Put them in sparkling water for a drink, or on top of ice cream or cheese cake for a delight. Andrea also put the same thoughtfulness and care into the packaging. Side by side, her syrups hold their own against the best Italian syrups around. In the beginning, Andrea took her drinks to a local Portland, Oregon street fair at an up and coming part of town. She went through 342 drinks in one day with her three existing flavors. This was the impetus to start her company and in only five months, she got into Market of Choice, a Eugene, Oregon grocer that supports local products and companies. She jumped right into 11 stores, and although it was a tremendous amount of work, she recruited her family into helping and made it. She has since increased her distribution to more grocery stores and a few bars as well.
