This is Sweet Spirit Foods

On this episode I chatted with Calyn Adams and Mrs Janee Jacobs about their business Sweet Spirit Foods. These ladies have a passion that burns so deep. A business created to raise money for their church and love for their community.

Sweet Spirit Foods was established in July of 2002 under the vision and leadership of Dr. Jayel Jacobs Jr., Pastor of the Christian Life Missionary Baptist Church and the administrative direction of the late Mrs. Joyce Jacobs and Janee. It began with a Snowie building at 4621 NE 23rd Street. Later, mobile food trucks were added which made food deliveries all over the metropolitan area of Oklahoma City. Our first restaurant was opened in Langston, Oklahoma. The Sweet Spirit Foods family soon multiplied and at one time we had four mobile food trucks, four snowie buildings, two restaurants, a convenience store and a car wash. Our product line started with mild, medium and hot barbecue sauce.We now have 80 products carried under the Sweet Spirit Foods label. Our products have become family favorites all across the country.We have acquired loyal customers through local and out of state craft shows, state fairs, Farmers Markets, grocery store demos and even going door to door.

We are truly grateful to the following stores: Walmart, Sam's Clubs, Ace Hardware Westlakes, Mardels and Atwoods. Some of these stores have been faithful in allowing us to hold fund raisers in front of their establishments and we have been blessed by them giving back to the community.

We're on the shelves of prominent grocery stores like Crest Foods, convenience stores, specialty shops, various restaurants and in the homes of thousands of Sweet Spirit customers throughout the United States and overseas.We want to be a blessing to others. That's the bottom line. That's why volunteers at Christian Life Missionary Baptist Church sell our barbecue sauce, Sweet Spirit Foods' Best. The profits we earn are helping people and helping our church. "Let the Spirit Catch You!"
