Our July Design Partner: Graze Craze

Our July Partners in Design was a fun and delicious event with Silas and Lindsey Coffelt of Graze Craze. This nationwide company was founded in 2018 by an Air Force veteran, who also worked as the Director of Operations for a multi-million-dollar food distribution company. Our local Graze Craze in Okemos, MI follows the company’s mission to combine best-in-class ingredients with concierge-style customer service. The goal is to create grazing boxes and platters that celebrate everything from life events with family and friends to workplace accomplishments, and much more.

Our July Partners in Design Event

July’s Partners in Design event was an interactive event with delicious results! Participants were able to make their own charcuterie cups and sample Silas and Lindsey’s homemade hummus in various flavors. We also learned how they cater to various organizations and individuals, providing individualized service to each event or celebration.

Everyone was able to take home their own cup and they stayed on to sample the board that Silas and Lindsey brought to share. We even had customers who came in for a bathroom design appointment and decided to join the event! Silas and Lindsey were so generous with their knowledge and their amazing charcuterie board, and everyone enjoyed the interactive event.

Their amazing business is an asset to our local community, and we really enjoyed learning about their successful business journey. It was such an engaging experience to learn directly from the experts about how to create boards and cups that are as beautiful as they are delicious. In fact, less than 24 hours after the presentation one of the participants visited their store to place an order!
