2021 marks the 50th anniversary of the C&O Canal joining the National Park Service and we are very honored to create a flavor honoring the park and it's history!
The results are in, and you guys let us know that "Mule Food" was the flavor you wanted!
This flavor idea was inspired by the mules who worked along the canal-- the oatmeal cookies represent oats, the mules main food, and the chocolate flakes represent their hoof marks along the towpath.
We will have the very first batch ready for you NEXT WEEK!!!
Thankful Thursday 🙌🏼 Join us today at 5:30pm Gentle Community Yoga (Lock House) and 6pm Vinyasa Flow (studio). Sign up at beachbeeyoga.com 🙏🏽 #thankfulthursday #appreciateeveryday #outdooryoga #communityyoga #vinyasaflow #beachbeeyoga
