Kansas foods culled for NY promotion
By Elaine Woodford
Owners of two Lawrence companies hope their products can make the big time in the Big Apple this May.
Kansan staff writer
Central Soyfoods, 11 W. 14th St. and Heart of the Prairie Ice Company were among 52 Kansas companies selected by Bloomingdale's Department Stores for a Kansas promotion this May.
Frank Carey and Jayni Neas, Lawrence residents, are developing Heart of the Prarie Golden Wheat ice cream, a wheat-flavored ice cream with crunchy bits of wheat, a flavor which will be included in the promotion.
Last week. Bloomingdale's officials released a list of the companies selected for the promotion in the New York department store and its 15 nationwide stores. More than 120 Kansas companies competed for a place in the promotion.
Carey and Naas presented three ideas to Bloomingdale's selection committee: a self-published cookbook, "The Easiest You Make It. The Better it Tastes," a recipe pamphlet
that would feature recipes made from products involved in the Kansas promotion; and the wheat ice cream.
Carey said that the partners were excited about having their product sold in Bloomingdale's stores.
"We view this as quite an honor, and we are thrilled with the opportunity to include our product in the promotion," Carey said.
hickory-smoked tofu was the winner for Central Soyfoods owner Jim Cooley. The company has been producing traditional and hickory smoked tofu for the past nine years.
"We have been increasing production of the hickory-smoked tofu, and we are experimenting with other flavors." Cooley said.
The tofu market has been expanding for Cooley's company to include Dillons Supermarkets in Kansas and possibly Safeway and Food Barn supermarkets in the Kansas City area. But this might increase production problems, Cooley said.
If New York shoppers find the tofu tasty, Cooley said, the company might not be able to keep up with the demand and the cost of shipping the product to New York.
