To Whom It May Concern,

Hi, I own and operate Pines’ Nut Butter; a Summit County nut butter company. I am writing this letter for Bjorn’s Colorado Honey.

Bjorn’s continues to be a business that helps us tremendously. Bjorn’s and I met at the farmer’s market in Dillon Colorado, 2022. Since going into business, Bjorn’s has been an excellent company to work with. They have been selling my products in their retail stores for 16 months now and it has been a consistent success getting my product into the hands of customers. We have collaborated on a honey peanut butter, and a honey pistachio butter that have been a major hit. I am thankful; beyond grateful for this relationship. Bjorn’s is my best wholesale account and I will forever be thankful for their business.

To whom it may concern,

I’m writing this letter today to show my support for Bjorn’s Colorado Honey, Pontus and Lara and the team. While I have been connected with Bjorn’s for a few years now business-wise, I’ve been around their brand for almost nine years. Between vending at farmer markets and craft fairs with my own brand, to attending many as just a customer, I’ve been a fan, friend and customer of Bjorn’s for a very long time and have the utmost respect for them all.

The amount of passion Pontus, Lara and team have for the brand, quality of products and connection to their communities is immeasurable. More often than not, my booth seems to end up right next to theirs and it doesn’t matter who the employee is selling their products, they’ve always been high-quality, passionate people. This is a direct relation to the ownership team and their personal passion. It’s not just a brand, but a family affair dating back decades with Pontus’ family. That passion is shown across their brand for all to see and fall in love with.

Now, as a vendor of theirs creating custom body care products featuring their honey, the passion is passed on to myself and my brand. The same goes for the other small businesses they’ve brought in at their various retail shops and kiosks. Pontus and Lara want all of us to be successful and to share their love for our brands with their customers as well. As small business owners, it’s vital for us to support each other, but the Bjorn’s team goes above and beyond. My company alone has grown exponentially because of the connection between our brands and the reach of their customer base, who now get to find out what my brand is all about.

When I think “community”, “local”, “support small business”, etc, I absolutely think of Bjorn’s Colorado Honey! Not only is that the “American Dream”, but also one that Colorado as a State takes passion in exemplifying in each community. To share local brands like my own and many others from across Colorado, to showcasing and sharing their locally harvested honey and products is a great accomplishment as well as something not every community has to offer. Bjorn’s is growing because of this community-passion towards not only their high quality products of their own, or other offerings from local makers, but also the community falling in love with Pontus, Lara and their team. It’s not just a family-affair, it’s a community success story.

In regards to their Denver International Airport kiosks and pop-up locations, it’s amazing for me to think that my products are ending up in locations such as India, Iceland and even just  Alaska! While my website allows my products to get across the United States, I would never get the opportunity to have them fly all over the Globe and into the hands of so many different travelers if it wasn’t for the connection with Bjorn’s Colorado Honey. I’m forever thankful and love getting emails from folks wanting to know more about my soaps, but also seemingly always asking more about Bjorn’s as well. This is not something a lot of small businesses like mine get to experience, and I’m ever-thankful for the opportunity.

Thank you for your time,

Jake Miller
