The new popsicle story

This afternoon the campers of CGI will be having a tasty surprise; what is special about it is that it comes with a great story. 

As you may know it has been very busy around here.  In addition to Chani directing and running the camp, warm lunch has been prepared for the 40+ children and staff in our kitchen every day.  A few years ago Chani had another daily task - making homemade fruit popsicles for the children at camp.  The reason: one of the children couldn't have sugar and Chani wanted to make sure that everyone would enjoy a treat at the end of the day, so a few dozen of frozen strawberry-banana treats have been prepared every morning...

But today the kids will get healthy, sugar free, organic, kosher popsicles - made in Victoria, but not in our house... 

Not long ago, the mother of David - the child who couldn't have sugar -  in her effort to prepare for him a summer treat - came up with the idea of freezing tea into a popsicle. To make a long story short - today this homemade idea became TeaPops, which has been recognized - even before its official launch - as a top-rated product internationally. Chances are that in not too long - it will be found in many thousands of stores across North America and beyond.

I've been regularly in the Baker's home while this great idea has been developed and I've seen the vision and the enthusiasm.  We are so happy that this is already succeeding beyond any expectation.

When we will give the children at camp today the very tasty TeaPops, it will come with a message:  When you have a good idea - don't be afraid to think big.  A mother's idea in the kitchen of her home made it in a very short time to the international stage.
