Revolution Cookies with Eli Rosen, Sticker Mule and Olives and Grace

We are going to try to take Revolution Cookies to the next level.  We've enlisted the help of graphic design wonderkid Eli Rosen - Tamara's brother - for our labeling needs, and as always he has exceeded expectations.  We bought up a bunch of these cool and compostable chinese takeout boxes made from recycled paper and after shopping around the various custom sticker operations populating the interweb, went with Sticker Mule for our printing needs.  Sticker Mule has a great range of customizable products and even offers free artwork fix-up, which with Eli at the helm we don't need, but is nonetheless a pretty valuable service.

Once we get all the packaging components in house, we'll start pumping out fortune cookies.  Then if things go to plan we'll be shipping them off to Boston to find their place in some of Olives and Grace's chic baskets.  Or if waiting isn't your thing, find some instant gratification here. With the growing season getting under way, Tamara, our resident mixologist and packaging artist, has some custom teas, jams, and seed packets in the works as well.

And with our return to Boston in the fall I see some nice potential for Sow Loud and Olives and Grace collaborations down the road.  Hell, Sticker Mule's got me thinking up some bumper sticker ideas too, but we'll have to wait and see what comes of all that.  I mean, "Drop Beets, Not Bombs," would look ultra-rad on any farmer market enthusiast's Subaru, right?  In just four words the definitive affirmation of your anti-war/pro-farmer sentiments.

Anyways, I have some farming to do.

  2. Hey Gretchen-
    We will be moving back to Boston in the fall (I start at Tufts in September). The cookies will hopefully be available in Olive and Grace's baskets soon, but we also sell them on Tamara's etsy site (tamara gabrielle).

    How's your school going? I'm a bit jealous.

    Also, thanks for the kind words regarding the blog.

    Take care.

    Bill
