The Reinvented Boomchunka

Cherry Boomchunkas are my first food product. It all began 22 years ago in a search for expanding my business. I had been selling Cherry Republic t-shirts, but was frustrated because tees were only purchased in the summer—I was looking for something to sell year round.. People eat food year round. I decided on a cookie using our local fruit and taking advantage of a newer invention—dried cherries. I wanted a fun cookie with a fun name. That was the easy part—in a flash Cherry Boomchunkas with oats, cherries and white chocolate were invented. Here is me with a few of my staff in my first kitchen.
