Smoothies without your vanilla yogurt will never be the same! You and your food will surely be missed, as well as the lovely folks staffing the farmers markets. Best of luck to you!

I echo so many of the words in the comments already shared. Your yogurt was truly a form of self-love for me - knowing I would nourish my body with a delicious breakfast was a ritual I looked forward to more than I even realized. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us and being an example of authenticity. Congrats on the next chapter!

I just learned about your upcoming closure from our GM at the Ford, and freaked out. I love your products so much and purchase regularly at Grassroots and Kitchen Mouse. Looking forward to what you do in the future, and thank you for pouring as much love as you have into your products. You're going to be greatly missed.

BK wasn’t just apart of my Sundays at MV. It was apart of my everyday. Your yogurt is truly one of my favorite, soul-nourishing rituals. You will be so missed, but I am so happy I got to experience BK these last 3 years. So many brands in this industry change / alter their ingredients / values to go commercial, so i hate to say it, but I’m used to saying goodbye. However, for you to stay true to your values and willingly decide to close this chapter instead, well that deserves the utmost respect. Thank you for staying honest, thank you for feeding us and for nourishing us. Thank you!!!!

That means a lot, Diandra. Thank you for sharing, thank you for noticing. Keep an eye out for more substack essays, I'm hoping we can influence more small food makers to consider a more uncompromising path.

Sad, but understanding. Have loved your cheese for years and it will surely be missed. But HFM person mentioned there may be recipes for home possibilities.

Your yogurt was/is the best! Would you ever consider sharing the recipe or process so those of us who have become enamored/addicted can carry on enjoying the fruits of your creativity?

Your cheese has been part of my lunch almost every day for 8 years......I've delighted in sharing it with non vegan friends and watch their surprise. You will be very missed! I wish you the best in your new ventures. Thank you for 8 awesome years!

Breakfast will never be the same. (trying not to panic). Yours is the only alternative yogurt worth eating! I've been dairy free for over twenty years and the only think I missed was yogurt. No others came close until BK! And don't get me started about those yummy little cheese wheels! I was so grateful that you kept us all going through the lock down. Your delivery service was such a gift. Thank you! What ever you do next, it will no doubt be fantastic. Much luck to you moving forward. And yes, I add my vote for a BK cookbook!

I love your yogurt and love that I could bring my glass jars back every week to be re-used. I wish you much joy and abundance in your next adventures! Please take care always. Shilpa

The yogurt. The Pure yogurt is what I'll miss the most, and will stock up before June 26th! We too closed up shop just a few months ago for similar reasons. We now help other businesses with email marketing, bookkeeping and content editing and we're loving it. I'm sure your next chapter will become obvious to you in time, and you'll be happy. Thanks so much for all the great cashew cheese & yogurt over the years, and for being a positive fellow vendor we could look up to. Good luck!
