Back where it all began. I was newly pregnant with my son and feeling a little under the weather. I was living in New York City at the time and set out to buy some organic saltines at one of the many natural /gourmet stores in my Union Square neighborhood. After a few hours of unsuccessfully searching, it occurred to me that maybe they didn't exist. After further research I discovered I was right, and the seed of inspiration was firmly planted. I then spent the rest of my nine months experimenting with my own saltine recipes and learning as much as I could about organic cracker baking. I also recruited my father, a two time food entrepreneur, to join my effort and Late July Organic Snacks was officially born right along with my son Stephen. We made the decision to launch the company with our all time favorite crackers, an old fashioned yet classic saltine, a flaky, buttery tasting rich cracker and a satisfyingly cheesy bite size cracker. These were the crackers I grew up with, but now I had the chance to update the recipes to remove some unnecessary things like hydrogenated oil and high fructose corn syrup and use only the best organic ingredients. I love to use the rich and saltine crackers in recipes. I use the classic rich anywhere that calls for breadcrumbs and I always use the saltines on baked fish and other seafood.
