Michael and Ellen Moor co-founded the business with their son Matt and his wife Tammy. In the early days, Michael and Ellen’s other children Jake and Libby helped out. Even grandma was helping out by flipping the crackers at 8pm to give her son and Ellen some free time. Talk about starting small, huh In 1999 they began producing around 30 bags per batch of raw organic, gluten-free, vegan, and kosher golden flax crackers using two Excalibur dehydrators. They bought a handful more of the Excalibur dehydrators every year to bump up production to about 250+ bags per batch by 2004. Then they got real serious! In 2005 they purchased a commercial dehydrator that brought production levels up to 900+ bags per batch! Soon they bought a cold press to press their own oils. Then it’s all history from there. Foods Alive can now be found on the shelves in health food stores all across the country. Foods Alive is committed to crafting truly healthy foods that are produced with the least impact on the environment. Summary: Dried tart cherries are extremely versatile.
