Business Description
Sweet Peaces is a veggie bistro that opened in 2014 at the Flint Farmers’ Market(Open Tuesdays, Thursdays, & Saturdays). We started with an idea to create vegan food that tastes great and is affordable. Another important goal of ours is to help the environment by supporting local farmers and using organic produce. Many studies have shown that adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet can improve your health and vitality. With this in mind, we hope to encourage people to add more plant-based food into their diet.
Our biggest challenge and goal is to expand our goods and services. People are loving our food and they wish to get it on non market days.We are working on the website where they can buy necessary ingredients(local & organic) online to make vegan food.Our next step after that is come up with food kits such as soup kits and ready to go meal kits at different stores across the country.
