What I love about the world
I love the beauty of nature, birds chirping, waterfalls, lush green mountains, fresh air, nice people, good actions for absolutely no reason, people picking up trash, people who do not litter, people who also understand that life is precious, trees, flowers, music, silence, a cool breeze, sunsets, sunrises, being alone (or with my husband) in some remote place, falling asleep midday in the sun, seeing wildlife uniterrupted, and more, and more, and more.
Business InformationHistory/background
I worked on my business plan for over a year. I offically started my business in February 2008. I absolutely love it! I do have a lot of experience working with food. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Food Science and Technology from Virginia Tech. I worked for Tyson Foods, in Richmond, VA for over eight years as the Quality Assurance Manager, the Food Safety Manager (HACCP Coordinator) and as the General Production Manager. After moving from Richmond to Shawsville, VA I worked briefly for a bakery but left there because I started New River Gourmet, which is the best decision I have made in regards to my profession. My business is doing well, and is growing all the time.
