Today is Follow Friday in the “Twitterverse”  so I thought it would be an ideal day to blog about the Neal Brothers.

I met the Neal Brothers (Chris and Peter) back in the early 1990’s at the Good Food Festival. At that time, I was not a food sales rep or a food blogger – just a hungry consumer that was interested in new products! Over the last two decades, I have continued to bump into them and have continued to watch their business grow and grow and grow.

In fact they are celebrating their 25th anniversary and to help them celebrate…I interviewed them!!

Answer: We were in school, and worked in the summer doing odd jobs and at worked at Wonderland too

Question: What product did you start off with?

Answer: Croutons

Question: What’s your best selling product at the moment?

Answer:  Organic Blue Flax Tortilla Chips and our Corn Salsa

Question: What changes have you seen in the food industry in the last two decades?

Answer: An increase in allergens (gluten free, wheat free etc) and that consumers want healthier options

Question: Do you cook at home?

Answer: Yes!!

Answer: Chris: Scaramouche. Peter: “this could smoke me…can’t just name one”.

Question: Any suggestions for future entrprenuers?

Answer: Chris: Nothing comes easy. Adapt and Persevere.

I wish the Neal Brothers nothing but the very best as they celebrate this huge milestone. I know I will be a fan for may more years, as they have shown nothing but

genuine kindess to me every single time I bumped into them (no I wasn’t a stalker). Not to mention, they sure do represent an amazing line of food products!

CHEERS!
