Guess who turned heads at CAHealthFood’s CHFA West last weekend? We attended the trade show alongside some of our Accelerator alumni and members, including AllThingsJill, NelsonNaturals, ChickapeaPasta, NotTooSweetDrinks, FlourishPancakes and many more.
From innovative snacks, to wellness wonders, our alumni’s booths were the place to be.
Swipe for a glimpse of the magic happening! ✨
