Take a stroll through your grocery store’s nut butter section. There’s a very good chance some bright colored jars with a big squirrel and the words “Wild Friends” on the label will catch your eye, draw you in and make you smile. It’s true! And how it’s actually possible for nut and seed butter to make us smile? And also taste insanely good? Well that’s what I wanted to investigate. So I got to sit down with the co-founder of Wild Friends Foods, Erika Welsh, and talk about how her peanut, almond, cashew and sunflower butters are changing the bread spread game as we know it. Turns out, there’s not some manipulative mastermind marketing strategy behind Wild Friends, instead, there’s a BUTT ton of passion.
