Michael Season's Snacks Review and Giveaway...

Cool For School Giveaway #12

Thanks to Michael Season's, we recently got the chance to try out some yummy baked snacks.

About Michael Season's:

"A tradition of taste. A commitment to "better-for-you" snacks.
In 1976, the founder and president of Seasons’ Enterprises, Ltd., Michael Season, moved his wife and children from Illinois to Oregon to try his hand at organic farming. From that Oregon farm, the family developed one of the largest natural foods distributorships in the U.S. When the family returned to the Midwest, Michael started what is known today as Michael Season’s brand potato chips, and the product quickly gained a loyal following. Michael realized that there was a market for healthy, additive-free foods. In 1993, he introduced what is now one of the company’s most successful products—Michael Season’s Thin & Crispy Potato Chips. These great-tasting, reduced fat chips are also popular with a growing number of consumers with allergies or dietary limitations. Michael Season’s is committed to using all-natural ingredients and providing an exceptional product at an affordable price."
