Portland's Oregonian Covers the Obama-Solstice Connection
The Portland Oregonian’s Margie Boule wrote a wonderful column about the origins of Solstice Bakery and how President Barack Obama came to love the Solstice Dark Chocolate & Peanut Butter Goji Bar.
Starting with how co-founders Reiner and Stephanie Bohlen were trying to get better nutrition for their son, the column tells how they were introduced to goji berries by an aging hippie, created different products with goji berries, finalized the recipe for the best-selling Dark Chocolate & Peanut Butter Goji Bar, and discovered how the current President of the United States enjoys their creations.
It’s a fun story about how small family businesses can make a difference on the national stage…
