Summary: Nicole Bernard Dawes grew up in the natural food industry – both on the counter of her mother’s health food store during the 70s and on the production floor of her father’s potato chip company, Cape Cod Potato Chips. Ever since, she dreamed of creating healthier products that could hold their own against traditional (and admittedly tasty) packaged snacks. In 2002, while pregnant with her first son, this childhood dream turned into a passion – and eventually, a business. Today, Nicole is proud to lead Late July Snacks, and be a part of creating delicious food that make people look at organic and natural products in a different way. She served as a board member of the Organic Trade Associate from 2009-2015 and has testified before Congress about the economic impact of organic agriculture today.
