When you first start out with this sort of business, you never realize just how busy you’ll really be!  So with that said, here’s to the start of keeping a current blog running for all our friends (this means distributors too, as we’ve chatted with many of you over time, and are glad to have met you!) and fans out there!

Our sole priority over this past year has been filling orders, building our commitment with our much-appreciated distributors, and making sure everyone is happy and lovin’ their Umpqua Oats!  We’ll try to post at least once a week- we don’t want to overdo it, but we do want to keep you updated on what’s going on, and what new products will be out!

Well, we’ve gone from our original 4 flavors: Mostly Sunny, Kick Start, Monkey Bars, and R U Nuts?, to now having 7 in the line-up!  As the company is progressing in orders and reaching so many distributors throughout the US and Canada, we’ve realized the thing to do, would be to add more and more yummy flavors, to give our fans a constant variety in their cup!  It’s neat to hear someone tell us their favorite is a certain flavor, but have it change, when a new one is released!  That always assures us we’re doing the right thing, people are happy, and people are enjoying the product as much as we’ve hoped for!

Added in the last few months, have been the newest 3 of 7 flavors: Take a Hike, Old School, and Lei’d Back.  Boy, it’s been fun making these yummy recipe concoctions, having our families try them out, to then seeing them all do awesome on the market!  We know we all love our Umpqua Oats, but the response to the product has been amazing!

Since the product was developed March 10^th 2009, we’ve been to trade shows, events, all sorts of things to spread the word about our healthy, wholesome and yummy product!  It’s been great meeting new people; other business owners like us, dreaming of succeeding as we are, from the creation of such a practical good thing that the young and old can enjoy!

The response in our local tight-knit community to Umpqua Oats has been amazing!  Had they not all believed in us, and the product, who knows where we’d be today!  People are enjoying Umpqua Oats nationwide, and now up in Canada!  We have people in other countries email about the product, so we hope one day we’ll be able to do more internationally!  Let’s keep our fingers crossed!

Well, that’s a short little tidbit of what’s going on around here for now!  Although we are so, so busy, we wouldn’t trade this success for anything!  Thanks to all of you, for your support and enjoyment of our product!

PS- Well most of you that visit here, probably have seen us over at Facebook and Twitter.  If you haven’t checked us out there yet, please do add us at those sites to follow along!  We list up-to-date info, and even do contests that ANYONE can try to enter in to, for free Umpqua Oats!
