1000 Food & Beverage

We started out of the desire to have frozen convenient foods for busy people like us that didn’t have any ridiculous ingredients or flavor additives.

We are a diverse team with one common goal: to create a bridge between tea growers and tea drinkers.

I wanted to bring ideas inspired by my extensive exposure to the international markets to the US market.

Being a leader of a small enterprise as well as managing two locations have been both my biggest successes and challenges.

I decided to teach Indian cooking classes, where people will learn how to prepare Indian dishes from scratch using fresh, safe, and non-toxic ingredients.

Growth and change in all parts of your life is what makes everything exciting, and keeps us becoming more successful each day.

I was laid off (early retirement) from a major financial services firm in the spring of 2009. Initially I looked for another job,and then a good friend asked me “what do you love to do?”

Landing another woman entrepreneur with a Wall Street background was the final piece of the puzzle. We developed a strong business model, established a brand identity, marketing strategy and launched our online store.

At the age of 43 I decided that I did not want to continue working in the corporate world. I wanted to start my own business and to be my own boss.

I started Sōw because I saw a lack of fresh juice options in my community. I wanted to showcase the beauty and simplicity of nature’s bounty and exalt it in the same way we do specialty coffee and artisanal cocktails.

I discovered gelato while visiting Italy in 2002 where I became enamored with the taste and quality of the product. It was disappointing to not be able to find the same quality of product in the United States.
