About Us

---

Growing up on a farm in Illinois, I learned long ago about our emotional connection to food. A sense of sharing and trying new things also developed for me on those prairies, and it taught me many lessons about entrepreneurship. Don's Happy Apple Snacks and Don's Kale from New Chapter Foods is the latest of many ideas that I have brought to life to share with customers who like honest, clean, locally made food.

Our kitchen is located in Southwestern Missouri, in Mount Vernon, a small town that is home to a cluster of locally grown or locally made foods marketed nationally. Our company was officially founded on July 27, 2012. Since then, interest in our products has become huge. We love making these chips in all their forms--original flavor chips, caramel apple chips or cranberry apple chips plus Don's kale. We offer clearly labeled organic apples in some of our chips or regular apples used in others. Look for more to come, especially as awareness of healthy eating becomes part of our everyday lives again.
