Go Food Convention

We had a friend show us this awesome food reserve company and so I decided I really wanted to go down and see what it was all about.  They had been talking about introducing new items so I wanted to be there to hear all the awesome announcements.  Scott thought that he should stay home with Rachel and do homework and so I went to Pocatello and spent the night with my parents on Thursday October 20th.  At 9:00 in the morning on Friday October 21st I headed out to McCammon to ride the bus down to SLC.  We went straight to our hotel when we got down to SLC.  We stayed in the Grand America hotel which is a 5 star hotel.  Yes the first time I've ever stayed at a 5 star hotel.  It was pretty nice. This is the picture of the room I had all to myself.

 The bathroom.  The tub was really nice.  I enjoyed relaxing in it.

After we checked in we hung out and was able to get on the bus to go look at the warehouse and distribution centers.  It was pretty awesome to see where all the food is made at.  The place is immaculate and they said they keep it that way all the time.  Makes me feel better knowing the food is made in a clean sterile environment.

 Pallets of ingredients ready to be mixed in the mixers.  Each box is an entree or soup with all the ingredients that will be going into that batch.

 Warehouse

 This is one of the mixers.  They mix 3,000 lbs of food at a time. Everything is precisely measured as it goes into the mixer.

 This is one of the machines that actually seals the product into the envelopes.

 This is actually in the distribution center.  They have 6 million dollars worth of inventory that they are turning over every 4 to 6 weeks.  That means our food that's going into our pantries are really fresh and haven't been sitting on the shelf for months or even years.

So Friday night was the first meeting where they told us they were going to be changing their brand from eFoods to Go Foods.  I totally love the new branding of the food.  They've made the packing awesome and added six new entrees and also a beverage line.

 This is the new logo.  It looks "Sexy" as they were saying all weekend.  Who would have thought food was "sexy."  We laughed each time they said it.  I think it looks pretty cool though and the new beverage line is awesome and I love some of the new entrees.  Anybody ready to try this let me know.

 Saturday night after all the training we got to rock out to a band.  If you can't tell that's Alex Boye.  Yes the guy from Jericho Road and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.  He was so much fun to watch.  He was high energy and was making us laugh by his antics. It was awesome to be so close to him.
