Food for Good Thought launched its gluten-free bakery in Clintonville back in 2011, and has quickly become known as a go-to resource for gluten-free goodies. Founder Dr. Audrey Todd not only has built a bakery that serves up great treats, she’s also baked in a social mission into the business — raising awareness about gluten-free diets for individuals with autism, and employing individuals with autism, providing them with important workforce development skills.
If you haven’t had an opportunity to try out Food for Good Thought yet, the team from the bakery will be showcasing bite-size samples at the upcoming Healthy Bites festival on Friday, July 29th at the Columbus Museum of Art.
“We will be sharing a variety of gluten free baked goods including brownies, cupcakes, muffins, lemon squares and buckeyes,” said Sarah Duplessis, Program Director at Food for Good Thought. “Each baked good is handmade in small batches to ensure quality.”
Healthy Bites will take place from 6pm-9pm at the newly renovated Columbus Museum of Art. Advance tickets are $30 and will include food samples, live entertainment, participatory yoga demos by Art of Yoga, admission to the current exhibits at The Columbus Museum of Art and a cash bar.
Featured food vendors include Fusian, Root 23, Pocket Produce, Gluten & Grain Free Gourmet, CoffeeFit Bar, Banana Leaf, Krazy Kraut, Zest Juice Co., Food for Good Thought, Snowville Creamery, Darista Dips, Native Cold Press, Acre, Alchemy Juice Bar + Cafe, Fronana and Lift Energy bars and drinks. We’ve also brought on board Cadence Kitchen, who will be providing on site food demos of quick and healthy meals.
A portion of the proceeds from all ticket sales will be donated to The Godman Guild. The Columbus Underground Best Bites event series have collectively raised over $16,000 for local charities since August 2014, with a goal of raising $20,000 for local charities in 2016.
