Another selection is the Sweet & Savory Box which includes Angie’s sweet & salty popcorn; Manuvo Harvest tropical dried fruit; glazed honey almonds from Sahale Snacks; and the 66 percent Dark Cacao with Orange from Be Free Village, powered by Good Cacao.
“We are thrilled that the Boise Airport is supporting a local Boise startup and couldn’t be happier to have a partner like HMSHost to help us get started in the airport industry,” says Lisa Bloomquist, one of seven co-founders of Be Free Village. “The b|launched program has given us the opportunity to find a need and launch a company that will help travelers have easier access to gluten-free products and resources.”
