Item Description

Nate’s Naturals is a husband-and-wife baking team, and they're bringing you this wonderfully healthy and delicious gift basket of five (5) of their special granolas AND a box of their granola-cholate treat.  

Based in New Haven, Connecticut, Nate's formed in March 2008. They've made a business out of doing something they love -- bringing you the best granola you'll find, anywhere. On their website you can learn about their granola, natural foods, farmer’s markets, dogs, literature, music and pop culture. And -- oh yes -- you can purchase more of these fantastic granolas and chocolate treats when the gift basket is empty! 

Of the chocolate granola treats, Nate says: 
We've done it. We have devised a way to combine the crunchy, aromatic excellence of Toasted Orchard with Belgian dark chocolate, and the result is called Cocoa Orchard. "Don't do it", they said, "it's too dangerous." True, the first experiments were a failure. The reaction was unstable. Trying to combine that much incredible deliciousness in an enclosed space was simply too much. It's been all over the papers -- the explosion at the Nate's Research Facility, our Crunch Level 4 laboratory destroyed, our beautiful assistant Olga -- poor, poor Olga -- gone missing. But we had to move on. We knew that Olga would have wanted us to complete the product. So we revised our process, increased the containment field, and -- voila! Success at last! Buwahaha! The reaction of our clinical trial subjects -- whoops, sorry, customers -- has been encouraging. They all exhibit a sort of shiny-eyed enthusiasm for Cocoa Orchard, and prefer it over other food, drink and shelter. They also show up at our house at all hours wondering if we have just a little bit more for them. That's what we call building brand loyalty! So try some at the New Haven farmer's markets -- both Edgewood and Wooster Square markets are open through the winter on alternating weeks -- or at any of our retailers. Resistance is futile.
