New Vegan Business Needs YOU
Bountiful Vegan is a new vegan business in the San Francisco Bay area.
They make the vegan “Intention Cookies” and are starting to see business pick up as area stores like Whole Foods begin to stock their cookies. (Read their story here.)
Co-founder Mary Wilmer (and fellow SF Bay Area Vegan Business Owners group member) says:
Business is growing steadily and has already reached the point where we need help. Currently, we do all the baking, packaging, labeling, deliveries, sales, and in-store demos. We can handle everything well, except the in-store demos, which are absolutely vital to the success of our cookie business. We need 3 or 4 people to do the in-store demos for us — but for a short period of time they’ll have to be unpaid volunteer positions. We’re estimating that within just one or two months we will be able to make these paid positions. Our current store accounts are in Marin, Sonoma, and Napa Counties. Store demos generally run from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. We’d love to get started as soon as possible because we’re already at the point where we can’t handle all our stores, as well as do all the other things we need to do.
So what do you say? This business is in its infancy and could use a little vegan community support to carry it forward.
Please note, these are unpaid volunteer positions until the business gets on its feet and can make these paid positions.
(Could be the perfect opportunity to see how things work “from the inside” if you think you might ever want to start a vegan business of your own. Like an internship.)
Are you outgoing and enjoy working with the public? Do you have a few hours to spare to lend a hand?

Let’s wish Mary and Terry all the best of success with their vegan business!
