You asked for it, so here it is: a video of us singing and dancing to announce that we're in Target and Kroger! We dusted off our dancing shoes just for you.
Our Juntos Fund initiative started when we set out to find Latino/Latina/Latiné food businesses creating positive change in their communities. We're honored to announce the recipient of the Siete Juntos Fund: CocoAndré Chocolatier y Horchatería!
Within our family, each of us have our own stories that come to mind when thinking about what it means to be Mexican-American. These experiences—of emotions, smells, tastes, sights, and sounds—are nostalgic to us, and embody what it means to “live the hyphen.”Living the hyphen is an important part of who we are not only as individuals or as a family, but on a larger scale, as a part of the Mexican-American community. Following the previous questions we’ve asked the Garzas about their hyphen, we’ve reached the final question: what does their Mexican-American hyphen sound like?
The foods and occasions that the Garzas reflect on in their answers paint a picture of the way (and why) we gather together as a company, years later. They are the same foods that we enjoy on Friday Lunches, summer cookouts, and holiday parties. Their smells bring us to fond memories of living our hyphen, and our nostalgia surrounding them is at the core of the foods we make, and the experience we hope to recreate at your table.
