Have a Bloody Mary on Us at Natural Products Expo West!

Natural Products Expo West Cocktail Pary

The Bloody Mary, everyone’s favorite brunch cocktail, is almost as unique as the individual who made it. Everyone has their own preference and there is no one right way to make them.  The cocktail was once called “the world’s most complex cocktail” in The Daily Telegraph. One thing is certain- Jeff’s Naturals products are a natural fit for this mysterious drink.

Guess you could say Jeff’s Naturals and a Bloody Mary go together like salt and pepper. One compliments the other.

We are looking forward to heading back to Anaheim CA next month for Natural Products Expo West 2016, the world’s largest trade show for the natural products industry.  To add even more excitement, we’re bringing some of our favorite Bloody Mary fixings to host a huge Bloody Mary Mixer with our friends at  Tillen Farms and Lakewood Juice!

If you’re headed to this year’s Expo West, join us Saturday March 12th from 12 p.m. -2 p.m. at Booth #4768.  We’ll be serving up delicious Bloody Mary cocktails made with Lakewood Organic Super Veggie Juice and garnishes like hugely popular Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives, Feta Cheese Stuffed Olives, Garlic Stuffed Olives our Jalapeño Stuffed Olives and Tillen Farms Gourmet Green Beans and Asparagus as cocktail stirrers.  But that’s not all- we’ll also be serving tasty appetizers to our guests made with Jeff’s Naturals Olives & Peppers– YUM!  You don’t want to miss it!

If you’re among those who won’t be attending this year’s expo or you can’t wait that long, don’t worry. Here’s an easy Bloody Recipe you can make at home.

Natural Products Expo
The Jeff’s Naturals team were all smiles at Natural Products Expo West last year.

As members of the growing natural products community, we always look forward to our annual trek to Anaheim, CA for Natural Products Expo West, the world’s largest trade show for the natural, organic and healthy products industry. The Jeff’s Naturals team cannot wait to connect with the thousands of attendees looking for the newest and most innovative natural, organic, and healthy lifestyle products the weekend of March 5–7, 2015.

“At last year’s Expo West event, it was quite noticeable that the non-GMO movement is really taking hold and influencing the food choices consumers make,” says Irene Fay, the Natural Channel Sales Manager for Jeff’s Naturals. “We are proud to be among the exhibitors that are non-GMO certified. In fact, people flocked to our booth last year just to sample our products. Nice to see so many olive and pepper lovers out there!”

Jeff’s Naturals joined Lakewood Juices and Tillen Farms to host a very popular Bloody Mary Bar at the 2014 Natural Products Expo West event.

Highlights from Natural Products Expo West

Natural Products Expo
The Jeff’s Naturals team were all smiles at Natural Products Expo West last weekend!

A record breaking crowd of 67,000 people, including our team,  gathered in Anaheim CA last weekend to hear, see and taste the very latest and greatest in the natural products industry at the Natural Products Expo West, the world’s largest natural products trade-show!

It was fun to see old friends and meet lots of new faces as we introduced our line of all natural pantry staples.  We joined almost 3,000 other exhibitors for three days of presentations, meetings and samplings.

It was quite noticeable this year that the non-GMO movement is really taking hold and influencing the food choices consumers make, and we are proud to be among the exhibitors that are non-GMO certified.  Jeff’s Naturals had an extremely successful showing at the expo, in fact, people flocked to our booth just to sample our products!  Nice to see so many olive and pepper lovers out there!

One of our highlights of course was our very popular Bloody Mary Bar we co-hosted with Lakewood Juice with generous support from  Tillen Farms on Saturday.

Guests who stopped by our booth were treated to a yummy Bloody Mary made with Lakewood Organic Super Veggie Juice and garnished  Tillen Farms Gourmet Green BeansAsparagus and an assortment of our stuffed olives including Blue Cheese Stuffed OlivesFeta Cheese Stuffed OlivesGarlic Stuffed Olives or Jalapeño Stuffed Olives.

Needless to say, our cocktail party was a big hit.  A big thanks goes out to Lakewood Juice and Tillen Farms  for working with us!  What fun we had!
