We connect the gluten-free community with the best gluten-free products, services and organizations.
GFREEK.COM: The who, what, why and how.
WHO: GFREEK.COM is a family business that was started based on a need in the market place. Josh and Jayme Schieffer (Owners) are parents of a child that has Celiac Disease. After their son’s diagnosis they gutted the fridge and pantry of “most” gluten containing products and went to the health food store to re-stock. Josh and Jayme soon realized how expensive some of the food was and how awful it tasted. On the other hand, some products tasted great and cost little to no more than their gluten containing counterparts. Josh and Jayme couldn’t find a single resource containing unbiased opinions about gluten free products and services so they developed GFREEK.COM. Josh has now been diagnosed with Celiac and is on a mission to make life easier for those who get diagnosed and/or are intolerant to gluten.
What: GFREEK.COM is a website that hosts the Annual Gluten Free Awards (GFA). Each year, people that consume or use gluten-free products and services are able to vote on their favorites. The results will then be posted onto the website for everybody to use. The purpose is to provide quick and easy information to two separate parties.
· The consumer uses this information to make purchase decisions based on availability, price, quality, and affects.
· The producers use this information to make business decisions based on their consumers feedback.
Why: Josh and Jayme realized quickly that spending $7.00 on a box of cookies and tossing them in the trash after one bite wasn’t the way to go. They didn’t have the health or financial freedom to experiment with the new food products and services. They wanted good tasting gluten-free food and a reasonable cost without the added frustration. The GFA will be the quickest way to identify that a product or service has met the quality standards set out by the Celiac and Gluten Intolerant population.
How: Nominations are conducted annually and results are then posted on GFREEK.COM in January of each New Year. There will be several links to the survey on GFREEK.COM. A request for a new category will need to be requested before the annual survey is published.
