We were featured on WCAX's "Made in Vermont" segment in June 2006. Some information is out-dated, but you'll get the general idea! We're homemade, healthy, and flavorful. Our story can be found below.
I was asked by my high school business teacher to create an energy bar for the Vermont Chamber of Commerce Business Expo in 2004. After creating a recipe, the bar debuted at the Vermont Business Expo.
Owner, Michael Adams
Garnering rave reviews, and with many people wanting the recipe, this event gave birth to my present business venture, Eddie's Energy Bars®. I call it Eddie's Energy Bars® because my father's name is Ed, and he has played an integral part in helping to keep my business running. I enjoy this venture because I am always on the go, meeting new people who have tried my energy bars!
I had eaten other energy bars before that were solid as a rock or flaky like a cracker. I did not enjoy them, so I knew what I wanted to accomplish: an all natural, no preservative energy bar. I wanted a bar that tasted good and beat out my competition in texture and nutrition. After recreating the recipe several times, I came up with the perfect recipe. I test marketed my bar on friends, family, and faculty at my school. They all wanted more. I was now ready to jump start my business, and grow in to a larger, yet more localized market.
I am now pitching my product to stores around the county. I am extremely excited about this venture. I plan to continue to grow it – and hope to have Eddies Energy Bars® in numerous stores and hands across the country with my marketing slogan --The Best Handmade Energy Bars EVER!”
