Eddie’s Energy Bars Enters Fresh Market in Burlington

October 22, 2007

We are very pleased to announce the entrance into Fresh Market, also know as the Cheese Outlet. Our classic wooden crates are overflowing with bars, right next to the register. Also there is some of the literature we gave the store manager.

So, now the residents of Burlington, VT can now purchase Eddie’s Energy Bars at Fresh Market. Isn’t that exciting? I think it is!

Don’t worry South Burlington residents. We are working on getting into Healthy Living!

Wow! Our Bars Don’t Freeze!

October 22, 2007

This weekend at the All Sports, Recreation, and Fitness Expo, I found most people liked the fact that our bars stay soft and chewy in the freezer for up to six months (maybe even longer, but that’s what we tested). While Clif Bars may not freeze, Power Bars certainly do, however, we compete on more than the fact that our bars don’t freeze.

We compete on the fact that our bars taste like food, incredibly fresh because we do not use any preservatives at all.  We use simple, pronouncable ingredients that provide incredible nutritional quality.

Granted this creates a shorter shelf-life, but fresher food is better food. Putting them in the freezer keeps the freshness intact. A lot of our customers eat their energy bars right out of the freezer!

Freshen up and grab some Eddie’s Energy Bars today!

Eddie’s Supports “Peak for Pam”

October 17, 2007

We love supporting the locals around here, and spreading lots of local love throughout the state is in our mission statement.

Our most recent example of local love is through the support of Peak for Pam. Pam Paradee is a local Champlain Valley Union High School teacher who has cancer. To defray medical costs, her many supports have decided to raise money through the Peak for Pam Challenge.

According to the site:

Announcing a group event conquering 5 of Vermont’s highest peaks within 10 hours. Groups can work as a team to raise $2000 or individuals can work to raise $200. Of course, any amount you raise would be greatly appreciated. The challenge starts up Mount Ellen (4080′) and traverses over 4 additional peaks finishing at the summit of Mount Abraham (4006′). The full hike takes the average hiker roughly 8.5-9 hours to complete. For more information on taking part in the Challenge, donating or volunteering, please contact Pam’s sister, Jen Smith at j.smith@mtghs.com. Thank you!

This event is taking place on Saturday, October 27th with donated energy bars from Eddie’s Energy Bars. We are so thrilled to be a part of this cause. Our friends, Happy and Badmoon, over at Hikeu Adventure Guides, are donating their time to guide the group of twenty five hikers up, down, and all around Vermont’s beautiful Green Mountains. They told me about the hike, and I was quick to hop on with some energy bars for the hikers.

If you’re a local, or even up for the weekend, please consider donating money or participating in your own hike to the summit of a mountain to show your support for not only Pam, but the thousands of other men and women battling cancer.

Thanks!

The Latest From The Test Kitchen!

October 16, 2007

How many of you are looking for high-protein energy bars? We have been getting a lot of feedback lately from customers that want 20-30 grams of protein per bar. Well, we’ve have some time this week, and might develop a high protein bar with a base of whey protein, rather than soy flour.

Not quite sure how it’s going to taste, but if you show up to the All Sports, Recreation, and Fitness Expo this weekend, October 20-21, you just might get to try a sample of high-protein goodness!
