Shima's Jerky Chips

Hey Ya’ll! We are part of the Good Food Guild! 🎉

exists to celebrate, connect, empower and leverage the passionate and engaged, yet often overlooked, players in the food system who are driving towards tasty, authentic and responsible food in order to humanize and reform our American food culture.

The good food guild is the only national trade association uniting food and drink crafters committed to environmentally sustainable and socially just production practices. With nearly 500 business members in over 45 states and Washington DC, the guild is an economic force transforming the American food system. We are proud to be part of this Guild.

Through 🖐🏽 five key programs – Awards, Guild, Alliance, Mercantile and Fund– they build widespread support for the growers, ranchers, makers and merchants stubbornly swimming upstream to create and share the kind of food we all want to eat: tasty, authentic and responsible.

And guess what else friends, we applied for the Good Food Awards 🏆 this year with our Grass-Fed Premium Shima’s Jerky Chips! We’ll keep you posted later this Fall on the outcome, but please send your good 🤞🏽 vibes our way!!!

We are proud to add another beautifully designed retail outlet to list:

is a store for people who care about what they eat and drink. Carefully sourced and personally curated, Foodhall has an eclectic selection of food and drinks and related products handpicked by individuals who are obsessive about flavor, usually interested in provenance, often picky about ingredients, sometimes intrigued by packaging, and never scared to try new things - this is why we are the perfect fit!

Located in San Francisco, visit their storefront at the corner of Valencia Street and 16th Street in San Francisco.

We highly recommend getting the frozen yogurt when you visit. Smooth flavor and minimal tartness to balance out the sweetness. You can taste the quality of the dairy, light but substantial and satiating.

As an Asian American and woman owned business we are incredibly proud to be part of LEAP's 40th Anniversary Celebration! Our Spicy were included in all the swag boxes that were sent out to their attendees and so far we are getting some amazing feedback from recipients.

They have an exciting line-up of influential speakers and musical guests  and  as well as Shima’s own (2:15pm - 3:15pm Women in Leadership: API Entrepreneurs Bridging Culture and Food in Business Facilitated by Hannah Kim, Chief Legal Officer, Corporate Secretary, and Chief Compliance Officer of Neiman Marcus Group)

LEAP’s annual Leadership Awards Celebration brings together individuals from across the corporate, nonprofit and higher education sectors to celebrate Asian and Pacific Islander (API) leaders and organizations.

In honor of LEAP’s hallmark 40th anniversary, they will be driving into the importance of acknowledging and celebrating the sacrifices and investments our ancestors have made for us to thrive and how they’re intentionally building upon those foundations for future generations to succeed. Join us for a day filled with meaningful conversations, networking, inspirational stories and more.

My first exposure to dehydrating foods was when I would visit my grandparents as a youngster. They grew their own fruits 🍎🍑 and most of the time, it was way more than what they needed. So, my grandma 👵🏼 dehydrated the extras and shared it with friends and family. Sometimes she would hang dry the fruits, other times she would use a countertop home dehydrator. The aroma of dehydrating fruits would fill the room. It’s one of those things that you always remember, and it always brings me back to those times. Cooking and sharing her food was my grandma’s way to show how much she loved 💓 and cared ✨ about other people. It’s something she was good at and it brought others joy. I hope 🙏🏽 to live up to my grandma’s legacy and continue to bring joy to those who love our . ~Marc

It’s Monday. You got this 👍🏽

“…lace is formed from the absence of substance; it is imagined in the spaces between the threads. Lace is a thing like hope. It lived, it survived, and it was desired for what it was not. If faith, as the nuns said, was the substance of things hoped for, then lace was the outline - the suggestion - of things not seen.”
