Peachy's Pantry: Annie's Homegrown Cheddar Bunnies: Whom You Know is Pleased to Kick Off Our Coverage of Annie's Homegrown


Peachy Deegan just loves Annie's products and has for years; when she was a student in Ireland when her aunt visited her from the USA, she brought Peachy Annie's macaroni and cheese, which was nowhere to be found in Cork other than from the suitcase of visiting Buffy Deegan.  So, we are pleased to kick off our coverage of one of our favorite food brands!


The Cheddar Bunnies themselves are a delightful snack!  We love them because they are all-natural: made with REAL cheddar cheese.  They have zero grams trans fat, and they have great taste!  Unlike most processed foods, Annie's Cheddar bunnies do taste fresh and flavorful.  As the box says, "No icky additives or pesky preservatives."   The bunny shape is super-cute and perfect for munching.  Whom You Know recommends Annie's Homegrown Cheddar Bunnies!


The facts:

Baked with organic wheat flour and Real Aged Cheddar, the Cheddar Bunnies are great tasting and wholesome. They are ideal for toddler-sized hands, but their crispy crunch and real cheesy flavor will tempt snackers of all ages to eat them by the handful.

As this is our inaugural coverage, 
About Annie's:

Annie’s believes that there’s something reassuring about knowing what’s in your food and who it comes from.  As nourishers, they see the world as one giant system, beautifully complex yet intricately interconnected, that grows organically with the care it is given.  They nourish communities by providing healthy food, promoting sustainability and supporting organizations motivated by the same intrinsic purpose.  

Annie’s Homegrown is driven by a team of folks who are passionate about three things:  food, people, and the planet we all share.  They are firmly committed to improving their standing as a responsible corporate citizen and work toward this goal everyday.  In fact, they have a motto for this:  
Eat Responsibly. Act Responsibly.  They value all beings, ”from plankton to polar bears to whales to redwoods” as Annie says, and as stewards of our fragile planet, they’re motivated everyday to lessen their eco (eh-hem bunny)-footprint on Earth. Read more about how Annie’s is lessening our bunny footprint.


As part of their commitment to making the world a better place, they proudly offer several Community Giving Programs,Sustainable Agriculture Scholarships, and mucho Free Loot to help grow the movement grassroots style.  
 


From the day Annie started this business, they’ve relied on fans and customers to spread the word about them and because of them, they have been able to do their part to grow the natural and organic foods movement. They are thankful to now be in all 50 states (and some parts of Canada), in your pantries and lunchboxes, in many of your tummies, on some of your cars and bikes, and, most importantly, in your conversations with each other.
