We’re not just a snack company — we’re a movement rooted in love for our land, our people, and the power of food to create change.
The Snack Shop was born out of a deep passion for adding value to Liberia’s local crops, especially cassava, and turning them into convenient, ready-to-make traditional snacks. We saw a gap — too much of our homegrown produce was going to waste, while communities struggled with unemployment and lack of access to healthy, affordable food. We stepped in with a simple idea: what if we could create snacks that taste like home while building a better future for those who grow them?
Founded by Sharon S. Blah-Poneys — an accountant by profession and an entrepreneur by purpose — The Snack Shop began with small batches of “Kala Mix” and “Gari Mix,” handcrafted and packaged for people who wanted quick, delicious options without compromising culture or nutrition. But our mission goes beyond food.
