Feed Four More
Our Friends over at the Highlands Ranch Whole Foods Market recently coordinated a donation program event called Feed Four More. By inviting their customers to join forces with them, the store was able to surpass their goal of raising over $2000 to support the local food bank, Covenant Cupboard Food Pantry.
The store collected monetary donations through the cash register but also sold mystery bag filled with goodies donated by companies including ourselves. Each pack contained products, coupons, and gear to entice customers to purchase one. These were a huge hit, and many customers came back to buy multiples.
Our team here at Flax4Life were very honored to be able to participate in helping the team at Whole Foods reach their goals of ensuring families in need received food and supplies for the holiday season. Special thanks to Maggie for organizing and facilitating this event, as well as the all of the team members involved.
For more information on the recipient of the Feed Four More project, Covenant Cupboard Pantry, please visit them at http://covcupboard.org/. Read more »
Celiac Camp of Northern California
The last few years we have had the privilege of supporting a Celiac Camp in Northern California sponsored by the Taylor Family Foundation and Staffed by the Celiac Community Foundation of Northern California. Each year we provide Gluten-Free products for the kids to enjoy during their stay. The camp gives each kid the chance to be worry-free and be around other kids with the same concerns. Kristina Kind of TTF calls it the “Just like me factor.”
The Taylor Family Foundation’s Mission is to preserve the wellness and enhances the quality of life for children in Northern California living with life-threatening and chronic illnesses, developmental disabilities and youth at-risk through unique therapeutic experiences and support.
If you wish to donate any products, money, or even time, please feel free to visit the Donate page, or contact the Taylor Family Foundation to find out how you can help.
Family Fun Day
This last weekend we spent the day enjoying the fall weather and celebrating our employees with a Family Fun day at Belle Wood Acres. The rain held off as we enjoyed food, train rides, apple picking, and finding the perfect pumpkin to carve. Our staff works incredibly hard every day, and we are glad they could spend the day playing!

Many of you have emailed or called us regarding our serving size and why it only represents 1/2 a muffin verses 1 whole muffin.
Flax4Life would love to have our muffins represent 1 whole muffin as a serving size, however the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) does not allow us to do so. The FDA states that muffins are typically light and fluffy and due to the density of our muffins, we can only have them represent 1/2 the muffin unless we chose to make the muffins 1/2 the size.
We believe our customers like the size of our muffins and can consume 1 whole muffin as a serving size. This is why our label on the front of the package states what a whole muffin contains in regards to omega-3's, fiber, and lignans.
We do not do this to confuse or mislead you, we simply follow the regulations of the FDA and state in the nutritional label that a serving size is only 1/2 of a muffin and the front of the package represents one whole muffin as that is what most of our customers consume.
