Not only do we just make Rebel Bars and sell them to vendors around Philly, we also sell our products at Clark Park Farmer’s Market every Thursday of the summer. This is a historical park located at 43rd and Chester. We sell our original Rebel Bars, along with plants grown by another UNI crew, and Seed Bombs. Our Seed Bombs attract a lot of questions because most people have never seen a Seed Bomb before....
Until today, we never knew how to edit raw footage on the computer. At the beginning of work, Ivan and Greg taught the Rebel Ventures how to use Final Cut Pro X. We were editing two videos: The Rebel Bar Production Process, which shows how the Rebel Bars are produced, and Vendor Stories, which provides interviews with the owners of two of our vendors. Kadidra’s favorite part of editing is the opportunity to add your...
Today we received a request from Mariposa, one of our vendors, to bring advertisements so that people know more about our Rebel Bars. This is important because we want people to learn about not only the quality of the bars but also our mission. Our mission is to provide food that is fully transparent, affordable for everyone, healthy, and supportive of our local farmers. For example, our poster informs buyers that the sale of Rebel Bars...
Yesterday, another group of high school students from High School of the Future Urban Nutrition Initiative came to see us in action and help us make the Rebel Bars. First, Jarrett stepped in and took them on a tour around the kitchen of Center of Culinary Enterprises. The group seemed to like it and was asking a lot of questions! After the tour, the group was ready to put their gloves on! Each of us...
The Rebel Ventures crew traveled to Kennett Square, which is 31 miles outside of Philadelphia, to purchase Swarmbustin’ Honey. Luke is the name of the local farmer that supplied us with the honey. Surprisingly, the color, texture, aroma, and taste had changed due to seasonal conditions. We initially made the bars with our original recipe, which contained 1.12lbs of honey per batch. We then decided to change the recipe and incorporated less honey. To compare...
I’ve been thinking about what I want to do in the summer and I’m excited about being outside with the whole group, we’re like family! Two years ago, I volunteered to be a Rebel Gardener and at the end it was worth it. With Rebel Gardeners, we grow and sell vegetables like squash, eggplant, kale and herbs. I love eggplant, especially when it’s baked with olive oil and seasoning. When I was gardening it was like...
Well Rebel Ventures has just built a partnership with Bridge Café in Huntsman hall at the Wharton School. The reason this is so important to us is because this is the first business we are going to be selling to as a probable partnership. We talked to them on Jan 30th, 2013 and were able to leave two samples of our bars and they seemed very interested to buy our product. And we were so...
Today we were visited by James Heaney our website developer, a former Penn student who now owns his own website development and creation company. He has clients ranging from an Oscar Award winning production company to AUNI. He's here to teach us how to manage, update and edit our website. We learned how to add links to our website, how to embed videos, and to add and edit photos. It was cool to use Google...
