Ashland Food Cooperative Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 28, 2008 --

Ashland Food Cooperative, known for being a leading cooperative retailer of natural and organic foods with over 5000 coop owners, is highly selective about what they sell, dedicated to high standards. Pete’s Gourmet Confections uses those same high standards to produce their old fashioned, handmade marshmallows and candies. The mission at Ashland Food Cooperative is to offer the highest quality, least processed, most flavorful and naturally preserved foods. They also like to obtain products that are locally made, often from small, uniquely dedicated food artisans. Being located in Southern Oregon allows Pete’s Gourmet to be considered a local vendor for their Pacific Northwest location and the all-natural ingredients in their treats are a perfect fit for customers seeking quality alternatives.

The story of how Pete’s Gourmet Confections came to be is similar to the small start that began Ashland Food Cooperative. Peter’s memories of cooking marshmallows and candies with his grandmother were reawakened after finding disappointment in the selections typically found at grocery stores. Determined to bring back the original goodness without preservatives and artificial sweeteners he began the quest for the perfect marshmallow.

After hundreds of batches, Peter perfected his grandmother’s famous recipe. Since then he has continued to experiment with new marshmallow flavors, and other old fashioned sweets such as rocky road, divinity, hot cocoa blends and pecan rolls. Pete’s Gourmet Confections products use all-natural ingredients such as two fold pure vanilla extract, and the finest quality semi sweet dark chocolate.

Ashland Food Coop has introduced a selection of Pete’s Gourmet Confections into their store. Look for their fluffy marshmallows, mouth-watering Pecan Rolls and Divinity, and decadent Rocky Road at the bakery counter. As this partnership continues to grow, you may be able to snack on all of Pete’s Gourmet treats at the Ashland Food Coop in Ashland, Oregon! For more information about this or any of Pete’s other products you can also call 1-866-857-3837.
