BeeFree’s flagship product, a plant-based, grainless snack mix, will be given to the hundreds of volunteers assisting the Olympic Swim Trials in Indianapolis June 15 to 23.

The BeeFree food truck will be featured on Georgia Street under the Eiffel Tower, staffed with the Autism Training Crew during the Olympic Trial vendor events from 1 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 22.

This Women-Owned business boasts a small but mighty list of whole-food ingredients in its products. Each Warrior Snack Mix is gluten-free with no soy, refined sugar, or trans fat.

“The quality of ingredients we use is absolutely essential,” BeeFree Founder & CEO Jennifer Wiese said. “We want people to see our nutritional label and know exactly what they’re getting.”
