Throughout the entire month of March, we are celebrating and honoring women and their achievements. Today, March 8th, is an entire day dedicated to women, known as International Women’s Day. What exactly does this mean? According to the International Women’s Day Website, today is a “global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.” Throughout history, pioneer women have had to battle and fight for their rights, as well as overcome hardships and discrimination. We honor and thank women for all that they have done, and continue to do.

At Price Chopper and Market 32, we are proud to sell many products from companies that were founded by women. Today, we want to specifically highlight five of these brands that we carry and encourage you to look for them the next time you are in our stores. Check out the five below!.

Earth to Kids (Chickapea)

Shelby Taylor 

Shelby Taylor created the brand “Earth to Kids” in 2015. Taylor realized the difficulties of not only putting together a nutritious meal that everyone would like, but also dealing with health restrictions and dietary needs. That is when she decided to take pasta and make it a superfood by creating “Chickapea” pasta. Chickapea pasta is made from chickpeas and lentils. The company’s mission statement is as follows: “We strive to empower consumers to feel better, inspiring and energizing them to do good things in the world.”

Green Grass Foods Inc.  (Nutpods)

Madeline Haydon

The story of Nutpods began in 2013 with a woman named Madeline Haydon. While she was on vacation, she was very disappointed by a non-dairy creamer she had in a diner. She knew it was time for a change, so she spent over a year creating what is now known as “Nutpods.” Today, Nutpods has a wide variety of non-dairy creamers, including French Vanilla, Cookie Butter, and Pumpkin Spice just to name a few. 

“Being a force for good in society is core to the mission of Nutpods.”

PARTNERS®, A Tasteful Choice Company

Marian Harris

Marian Harris was a small business owner in Seattle. When she soon discovered that places to eat affordable lunches were few and far between, she took matters into her own hands and opened up a restaurant with this exact mission. Harris eventually developed her own homemade cracker recipe to accompany her soups and salads, and these crackers were a huge hit. In 1992, Harris went to local stores to have customers sample these delicious crackers, and that was when PARTNERS®, A Tasteful Choice Company, was born. Why the name Partners? Harris says it is because her crackers are the perfect “partner” with any food.

Purely Elizabeth

Elizabeth Stein


Elizabeth Stein learned all about holistic nutrition and the impact that food has on the body 15 years ago. There was one problem, though. Stein saw limited options in grocery stores for delicious, wholesome foods, so Stein knew she had to take action. This was when “Purely Elizabeth” was created. Today, Purely Elizabeth has many different varieties and flavors of granola, cereal, and oatmeal.  “Purely Elizabeth products are Certified Gluten-Free with select products also Non-GMO Project Verified, Certified Vegan, and Certified Paleo + Keto by the Paleo Foundation.”

HimalaSalt

Melissa Kushi

Melissa Kushi learned from a young age the importance of sustainable foods. While studying in Japan, she fully began to understand how important quality salt is for our bodies. Kushi is not only the founder and owner of HimalaSalt, but she is a natural foods cooking teacher, Macrobiotic educator, international organic commodities specialist, and mother. HamalaSalt’s mission statement is as follows: “We are mission driven. Creating a culture of compassion, humanity, and sustainability inspires us, and we take pride in our products that support wellbeing, and provide added social value.”

More than a dozen years ago, the idea for a New Items column was created.  It started life as a monthly column in the Price Chopper weekly ad where two new items were described and pictured.  Over the years, the monthly New Items column has turned into a weekly column and the two items are featured on the Price Chopper website for sixty days after being in our actual weekly ad.  The New Items column will continue to appear in our weekly ad and two items will be featured each week. I am excited to tell you that I will be blogging about the New Items each week as well and look forward to hearing from you. Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy New Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy for men and women is a revolutionary line of nourishing shampoos and conditioners that turn the conventional hair care discussion on its head.  This new approach “feeds the scalp”-not just the ends!  Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy for women deeply nourished the scalp to work where it matters most, creating the right foundation for strong, beautiful hair from root to tip.  The nourishing shampoos and conditioners are clinically proven to help restore the scalp’s natural moisture balance (when using shampoo and conditioner) and give women stronger (less breakage when combining vs. non-conditioning shampoo), more beautiful hair in just seven days! Clear Men Scalp Therapy breaks the “one size fits all” approach to treating dandruff and is a lasting solution to one of the most common scalp issues for men-dandruff. This complete range of shampoos is specifically designed for men and clinically proven to provide 100 percent dandruff protection (no visible flakes with regular use). Look for the Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy products in the Hair Care aisle! Applegate Organic & Natural Meats For 25 years, Applegate has been producing high-quality natural and organic meats and cheeses, including hot dogs, bacon, sausage, deli meats and frozen products.  Natural can mean many things, but when you see the word “natural” on the Applegate label, you are guaranteed that the meat inside is: Look for these Applegate products in the Meat and Wall Deli aisles: Natural Beef Hot Dogs, Natural Turkey Hot Dogs, Organic Beef Hot Dogs, Natural Sunday Bacon, Natural Turkey Bacon, Natural Roasted Turkey Lunch Meat, Natural Smoked Turkey Lunch Meat, Natural Black Forest Ham and Natural Slow Cooked Ham Lunch Meat.
