I am in love with your Sunny Crunch!!!! Drive all the way to Mariano’s in Crystal Lake IL from Huntley IL just to buy it. Very particular about my food sourcing (organic, Non GMO, etc.) and your products fill the bill! Thank you so much for what you do... hope you expand to more stores in the area.
