Graduate Testimonials

Hear from our elderly peanut butter graduates

The peanut butter program changed my life. At 70, I never thought I could start a business. Now I make peanut butter three times a week and sell to local shops. I have regular customers and even hired my grandson to help with deliveries.

Peanut Butter Graduate, 70 years

I was worried about learning something new at my age, but the instructor was so patient. The step-by-step training made everything easy to understand. My peanut butter is now sold at three shops in my area, and I have more orders than I can handle!
