I'm in Sonoma!!
IT"S SOO BEAUTIFUL HERE~!!!
Amazingly beautiful! Everywhere you go, the scenery is just breath taking..its KODAK moment every moment in Sonoma County lol.
It is my first time in Sonoma County, and also my first time to see the MANUFACTURING PLANT of our product, Sonoma Crisps! I'm so happy and excited that I got to meet the Research and Development Team..Bob, Will, Flora, Lupe, Maria, Ricky.. :)
Yesterday and Today I got to go into the plant as well, wearing a science coat, mask, hair net, hand gloves and all that jazz..and got to see how the APPLE STICKS & RAISIN CRUNCHES are made. It really was fun, and it reminded me ALOT of science/chemistry class from my college years. Also got to taste many samples of each product..since Research and development is always happening at this Sonoma Plant!
As much as I love living in LA, its nice to get away from the craziness , and I'm really enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of Sonoma, and its scenery..and wine =D
I will post more pictures later on for all to see!
And THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE who has sent us an inquiry about doing a BLOG REVIEW of our samples.
Sending you love and apple sticks from..Sonoma!

Sonoma Crisps Reviews
Anyway we have been very lucky to have very popular bloggers to review our products!! Increasingly, I feel that blogs have become a powerful tool for marketing and a way to communicate with the consumers on a very personal level. Because we are a start up snack company, what our consumers think about our product,packaging, and etc., is very very important to us!
So, it has been VERY interesting, reading each blogger's review of our products. Every one seems to have a different preference on our products, and we have been getting many new ideas about our products, and recipes using our products. Thank you Thank You for everyone who has been part of reviewing our products!
Today, I will like to introduce to you a wonderful Blog: Danica's Daily. A blog about living a healthy clean lifestyle filled with good eats! She has wonderful pictures for every post, and I am secretly a fan of her cooking (science projects!?) and her goofy husbands facial expressions. haha :P
Danica has been so kind to write a wonderful review of our products (2 articles!!), and also she has been one of my motivations to continually write in this blog. Thank you, Danica!
Here is the review of our products::
I was so excited when Sonoma Crisps contacted me to do a product review of their products. I was pretty much sold when they said the entire bag is ONLY 70 CALORIES, 1 Weight Watcher Point!My sample pack included 4 packs of their healthy snacks. It took everything in me to refrain from opening them all up the other night when we got home. But, I refrained so I could do a proper review.* Apple Sticks Original* Apple Sticks Golden Delicious* Apple Sticks Cinnamon* Raisin CrunchI really wanted to try all flavors at once but found it hard to justify 280 calories in Apple Sticks. You all may have thought I lost my mind at that point! So, today, I picked the two flavors I wanted to try the most.* Apple Sticks Original & Apple Sticks CinnamonThe nutritional specs are pretty good on their products. They are fairly clean with the exception of fructose (aka sugar) being added. I think the fructose used is minimal as the grams of sugar in a small apple are around (15g /4 tsp naturally occuring sugar) and the entire package has 16 g of sugar for 1 1/2 apples! I definitely think that is "in moderation" and not something to stop you from picking up these tasty treats!The nutritionals on Apple Sticks Original are just as promised:And the Nutritionals on the Apple Sticks Cinnamon ~ YUP that is for the ENTIRE bag!Their Apple Sticks are "slow baked" not dehydrated or fried - there is not a single drop of oil in any of their products ~ how awesome is that?! But, wait, it gets better. Each bag contains the equivalent of 1 1/2 apples. Now that is a really nice size portion for only 70 calories/1 WWP.I have to admit - I absolutely LOVED the "fry" shape!I took 1/2 of each bag for my sample and asked some of my friends/co-workers to tell me what they thought with the other half.I have to say I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THEM!!! They are crispy and snappy like chips, yet, light at the same time. I had a hard time choosing which flavor I enjoyed the most, but, I think I liked the hint of cinnamon the best.All of my co-workers & two other Weight Watcher Friends LOVED them. We all thought they were the perfect snack for the afternoon when you want something sweet. For 70 calories it is a better alternative than M&M jar that shouts my name every day!I definitely think you all should stock up on these and keep them on hand. They would be perfect to carry in the car, your purse and/or keep at your desk. It is a healthy, sweet snack, that you can not only feel good eating, but, you can feel good giving it to your kids too!They sell them at your local grocery stores or if you cannot find them there, click HERE to buy them on Amazon.com.
Thank you Danica! I will be posting up the second review tommorow.
If you would like to review our products, please send me an email at hikari@sonomacrisps.com, if your blog reflects our company's philosophies, we would love to send you a sample for you to review.
Have a great day everyone!
