The two reasons behind #iylagranola as a business concept suggested by a business major graduate from Fordham University are shown here: my granddaughter and grandson.
I made granola as Christmas gifts to friends and family. I did not see the business potential at all.
My young friend suggested that I make it into a business and sent me a photo of the granola that she buys in New York.
Fast forward, a year later, I have made 41 batches now, over 492 bags sold now, with few hundreds as gifts.
#iylagranola has traveled to Spain, London, New York, New Jersey, Temecula, Oceanside, Florida, Washington, D.C, Chino Hills, Philippines, Santa Barbara, San Francisco, Canoga Park, Porter Ranch and more.
100% of the proceeds go to #princess2015la and #maharlikala2023‘s #collegetravelfunds.
I made it into a social enterprise, where 85% of the ingredients get reimbursed and 15% donated to my clients. In turn, they donate to the college funds and some give generously. It has become a ‘Circle of Grace’ network where #graceupongrace show up as continued blessings.
Thank you for your vibrant support and even sharing how you experiment with creating recipes of #yogurtparfait#icecreamparfait#oatmealtoppings and #travelsnackbars.
