I decided to look at your website today, and the thought came to me to email your company, and you, with a review of your WONDERFUL AND AMAZING PRODUCTS!
My father started purchasing your cranberry orange muffins forever ago and continues to buy them in bulk. Not only has he hooked my mother onto them, but he also has hooked other people at my work! He probably eats two of them a day! He pretty much keeps the PCC grocery co-op on their stocking game with how many boxes he buys of them at a time.
I started buying your regular chocolate brownie muffins this last year. Didn’t even phase me that it was the same company as my Dad’s muffins until now. I LOVE pastries, and brownies are usually hit or miss for me, as they are usually too sugary, chocolatey, or too much-added stuff for such a small desert. That is my preference of course. I grew up with a Mom who makes her brownies with Dutch/Dark Cocoa, so my taste buds know the glory of Dutch Cocoa.
I can usually tell, based on how a pastry or dessert LOOKS if the texture and taste are going to be worth the purchase. I have had many of the fad vegetarian, gluten, vegan-type deserts, and I do not have any food restrictions, but I like to try them regardless. Most of the time, I feel terrible after eating these desserts (high intolerance to nuts keeps my options limited), and I usually get really ill most of the time from these types of desserts for the excessive amount of oil, high-fat additives, nuts, etc. I am better off with a few bites of a traditional sugary, wheat, and buttered product.
Your brownie muffins:
They are so evenly balanced that I feel NORMAL after I eat one. They are delicious and worth every bite! Everyone at my work now takes turns buying these little guys! It blows my mind every time I eat one, how fulfilling they are. I feel balanced, at ease, and most importantly, satiated in that cocoa craving. I am appreciative for these delicious brownie muff bites!
I know that is a long story for me to write out, but I also know you would not be creating these if they didn’t mean something to you. The fact that wherever the recipe started, grew, and became what it is today, is worth acknowledging first hand, not only for the brownie muffins but for everything you and your company creates.
Life is about the amount of joy you feel at any given moment. Joy has to come first, before any conditions. & with that, joy is meant to be felt when we eat, no matter WHAT the food is.
I always say to my father, “If you are going to eat a cookie, enjoy every, single, bite.”
That is my motto with any moment: enjoy every, single, moment, and appreciate the moments in life that assist you in realizing what you prefer. Sometimes you are going to taste things you don’t like! But it doesn’t mean it didn’t serve its purpose because the desire is thus born to know what you do LOVE.
Thank you for your continued choice to spread the joy of your creations. If you ever decide to make products that are wheat or dairy driven, I fully support that adventure as well. Either way, keeping it simple, as you do, is what makes your products enjoyable.

Best muffins in America in my humble opinion. Can't start my day without one these past 18 months if not longer.
Keep up the great work.

Ever since my first introduction to your gluten free Chocolate Flax mini muffins, I was a fan... not a fan, in love... Not the superficial love that changes with the wind, deep meaningful everlasting love!
The taste, the texture, the joy they bring is sheer perfection. Thank you from the tips of my taste buds to the essence of my feminine soul.
Please don't ever change, I love you just the way you are.
Loyally,
Sheri S.

To whom this may concern,
I just wanted to thank your company for the great products your company puts in stores. I am a coach for a program called Girls on the Run. The girls meet Tuesday and Thursday during the 10-week program, participating in interactive lessons and play running games to help prepare them physically and mentally for the 5k race. These 3rd through 5th graders have a great time during the lessons and it helps a great deal having a healthy snack they can enjoy too. Your products play a major role in that. Keep up the great work! It is greatly appreciated!

I'm emailing you just to tell you how much I love your products! Your muffins are seriously always so freshly nutritious and delicious! I feel like I buy some every time I'm at Whole Foods, because I just can't get enough. They make for the perfect breakfast on the go! I just wanted to thank you for producing such quality products. Too often, companies only hear from customers when something has gone wrong or they are displeased. You truly deserve a compliment! Thank you!
Loyally,

Hi, I received my order yesterday of a couple different kinds of muffins, two kinds of brownies, and some granola. Previously, I had bought a package of the carrot raisin muffins at Whole Foods here in Vancouver, WA, and they were so scrumptious, I kind of felt guilty eating them! My older daughter and I both had an apple cinnamon muffin last night, and it was every bit as wonderful as the carrot raisin muffins. My youngest daughter and I both had a chocolate cherry brownie muffin and oh my, were they great. My husband loved the chocolate granola, but I'm not letting him have all of it! I'm the only one in the house who has to be gluten and dairy free, so for my daughters to love these tasty treats, when they're normally quite picky eaters, was astonishing to me. It's nice to find healthy, tasty baked goods that my whole family can enjoy, and I wanted to thank you. I look forward to your new items, and will definitely be reordering. You've got a customer4life here!
Sincerely,
Rene

I had to send this to you as I have Celiac Disease and am always scrounging around the shops for good bakery items that are tasty. Well I have to tell you that I am on my third container of your mini 12 muffin brownies and cannot believe how good they are. They are way better than most gluten products that I used to eat before being diagnosed; way to go people they are some of the best brownie muffins I’ve ever eaten. Thanks so much.
Signed Happy Celiac Consumer,

After trying all 4 flavors, we like the chunky choc chip flax muffins at Fred Meyer in Longview, WA. We are probably one of your best customers!! I don't know many people who would spend as much as we do on those tasty muffins each month. My husband and I each eat one every morning with our coffee. But one day we went to buy a box and discovered to our dismay, that the shelf was empty!
It was not good news that the gal in the nutrition section gave us..... She said they hadn't been able to get any muffins. Gasp!
Thankfully, after oh maybe a month (just kidding, it just seemed like that) the new shipment came and we are happily munching on the muffins again each morning.
Tell the baking crew there that they make really good muffins and don't mess with the recipe. It's perfect the way they are!
Sincerely,
Victoria and Henry

Dear Flax4Life,
I survived a boating accident in June 2015 in South Florida. I’ve been coping with traumatic brain injury (TBI) related issues like binocular diplopia (double vision that requires an eye patch to see properly), fatigue, memory loss etc.
To make a long story short, I’ve noticed substantial improvements in my memory, energy and vision since taking Flaxseed oil after being discharged from my 2-week stay in the hospital where I had my right eye socket rebuilt. I survived 3 simultaneous brain hemorrhages. God sure spared my life, but not without affecting my entire body.
Recently, I went from ~ 1000MG Flaxseed oil pills, some days also consuming Flax Milk, to 1 of your carrot raisin muffins with coffee (states there’s 4000MG+ Omega 3). Is this accurate? If so, my Omega 3 intake went up 300%
Well, coincidence or not, my double vision improved so much after a few days of eating your muffins for breakfast (and no other diet changes) that my double vision was reduced by about 50% according to my Ophthalmologist. I had an eye test done 2 weeks prior. For me, this simply means that my bad right eye ‘turned in’ so it can better focus with my healthy left eye. They were pretty crooked since my swelling went down after surgery. Much of it had to do with brain-nerve signals.
Easier to explain on the phone, but I just wanted to briefly share my story. There must be a direct correlation with Omega 3, and/or other ingredients used in your carrot raisin product, to healthy brain function. I’ve noticed dramatic changes in my health since taking Flaxseed oil in pill, milk and muffin form.
Thank You,
Brad T.
