One of our farmer’s market customers suggested we contact ABC Shark Tank to acquire an investor and grow our business. Our customers started giving us new recipes and ideas on how to use and promote ‘Mango Mango’. Some weekends we would work four farmer’s markets a day. We were so excited to know that people were enjoyingour preserves as much as we enjoyed making them. After our first food show (Virginia Finest), we were picked up by three Whole Foods Markets. We were selling out at every market and our customers would follow us from market to market. Shortly after producing ‘Mango Mango’, we started to attend Farmer’s Markets and Food Shows. With all of the VDACS & FDA rules and specifications in hand, we started producing our preserves, that we aptly named ‘Mango Mango’ at the Hanover Cannery in Ashland, Virginia. Our clients loved the preserves so much we decided to commercially manufacture them. We have used our preserves in many PARTY recipes for our clients to Spread It! on toast, bagels, or croissants Mix It! with cream cheese for a delicious fruit dip Shake It! With red wine vinegar and olive oil for a mangolicious vinaigrette and Stir It! with our Jammin’ Ginger PARTY Mix to make our Mango Ginger Shrimp, just to name a few. The answer is simple, fun, and key to why we call them PARTY Preserves. People often ask how do Event Planners who plan parties start manufacturing a gourmet mango preserve. We are Simply Panache (better known as the Mango Ladies) a national event planning firm that specializes in personalized parties and professional events.
