Hello everyone! Mario here - founder and Head Nut here at The PB Love Company. A few words to share with you all during the madness of the COVID-19 pandemic.
I realize there is a lot of fear and uncertainty that is effecting everyone. I hope we are all doing our parts to keep in happy spirits and have a healthy, strong body. By doing so, along with our other individual efforts, I believe this will make a huge impact on how the world recovers socially, economically, and culturally.

It is likely we will all think, feel, and act differently with each other once we are 'free' from our homes and the overwhelming overload of fear from social media and the news. A happy spirit and a strong healthy body will behoove us as we transition into a different world.

Many positives of course, have evolved from the challenges that many of our communities and industries have been experiencing the last several weeks.
Local food systems particularly have been dramatically impacted since this whole thing started, and many small businesses like restaurants, farmer's markets, local shops, farms, distributors, grocers, food manufacturers (like ourselves) and many more are being greatly affected.

As a small business owner myself, it has been quite difficult to best navigate all the decision making of what to do in order to survive the COVID-19 impact.
Here is some of what we are doing....
FACTORY CLEANING.
We have always, and will continue to meet the Food Safety Guidelines enforced by the CDPHE. Our production and online fulfillment operations pose an inherently low risk. We will continue the routine and thorough sanitation of our facilities with a level-up on awareness.
SHOPPING SMALL. SUPPORTING LOCAL.
We are all in this together. With respect to social distancing, PB Love encourages everyone to support the small businesses in our communities through this challenging time. The PB Love Company has collaborated with the following Colorado businesses in order to help the decrease in revenue and to continue to feed people.
