Client Spotlight – Milton’s Baking Company
DSD Business Systems makes an effort to promote wellness and a healthy lifestyle for its employees. On occasion, DSD employees participate in a “Biggest Loser” contest to encourage a fit lifestyle. Quarterly lectures are provided during lunch with a clinical nutritionist, to promote healthy eating. It’s also great to know that DSD Business Systems works with many clients that are focused on healthy lifestyle choices. One of these clients that I have had the pleasure to work with is Milton’s Baking Company, also known as Milton’s Craft Bakers.
Milton’s Baking Company has been a valued DSD Business Systems client for several years. The Company supports healthy living choices and believes food should be Delicious You Can Feel Good About.™ Their healthy products include whole grain breads, Non GMO gourmet crackers, Non GMO Gluten Free Crackers and Non GMO Gluten Free cookies. Milton’s products are found at stores including Costco, Sprouts Farmers Market, Walmart, Albertsons, and Vons. I am personally a fan of the recently introduced Milton’s Gluten Free Baked Crackers. The new Gluten Free Crackers taste so good, you would never know they are gluten free. They do not contain genetically modified organisms (GMO) and are certified gluten-free. The Gluten Free Baked Crackers also go together well with hummus!
The Milton’s Baking Company website provides some excellent value-added features, for living a healthy lifestyle. The Food Guide Pyramid explains the difference between whole and refined grains, the importance of eating whole grains, and what the nutrients entail. I had no idea that “Fiber-containing foods, such as whole grains, help provide a feeling of fullness with fewer calories.” After reading this page, I now make a conscience effort to eat at least three ounces of foods containing whole grains on a daily basis.
The Milton’s Baking Company website also features a Submit Your Recipe page. This page is a great way for Milton’s to connect with the consumer. It allows consumers who purchase Milton’s products submit their favorite recipes. Milton’s then test the recipes and post the tastiest ones on their website.
As a father who is looking forward seeing my child grow, it is important that I am aware of what is in the foods that we eat, so I can help influence my child to eat the right foods at an early age. The earlier she begins to eats the right foods, such as whole grains, the more she will make this a habit as she gets older.
I am fortunate to work for a company that is able to partner with my family’s efforts to eat better and live a healthy lifestyle. I feel even more privileged to have a client who is also able to partner with me and every customer they serve in healthy living. As the New Year approaches and you set personal and family goals for 2015, keep in mind that Milton’s Baking Company is ready to be your partner on the path to healthy lifestyle choices.
