Awards
The Sonoma County Harvest Fair is an annual three-day event of great importance to both amateur and professional wine and food producers in this county. Its awards bring with them recognition and opportunities that extend far beyond the borders of our lovely area.
We entered as amateurs in 2010 when we were thinking about starting our business and won first place for Cardamom Apricot, Original took second and Apple Cinnamon took third.
As professionals (ahem!) we have won to date:
- Blueberry Ginger Double Gold
- Original Double Gold
- Apple Cinnamon Double Gold
- Cardamom Apricot Gold
- Orange and Sour Cherry Double Gold

Now the friends have transformed the family treat into a business and show up at local farmers markets to sell Not Yer Momma’s granola.
