About Samantha Abrams:
Samantha Abrams is the Co-Founder and President of Emmy’s Organics, Inc. which she founded in 2009 alongside her partner and husband, Ian Gaffney. Emmy’s Organics came from the shared desire to take real ingredients and turn them into something delicious that everyone could enjoy. There lay the opportunity to turn Ian’s Coconut Cookie recipe into a real product that you could buy at a store.
Samantha’s enthusiasm to make a difference and to do business the “right way” motivated the company to become a certified B-Corp which is recognized as the highest standard of corporate responsibility. When not giving her heart and soul to Emmy’s, Samantha can be found walking her dog, Sadie, in the woods and eating Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies.
About Emmy's Organics Tea:
Emmy’s got its start in a home kitchen (that belonged to Ian’s mother, Emmy) where Samantha and Ian made small batches of Coconut Cookies and sold them door to door in their local Ithaca community and eventually, New York City. Creating gluten-free and vegan treats that actually live up to the hype, Emmy's Organics Coconut Cookies and Chocolate Covered Bites have put them on the map as the fastest growing organic cookie company in the US. All of Emmy’s products are plant based, gluten-free and certified organic. But, more importantly, taste incredible since they are made with the highest quality organic ingredients like coconut, almond flour and coconut oil. Emmy’s uses business as a force for good and is a Certified B-Corp and Living Wage Employer.
