The Gardenbar® was developed by GardenChef Paul Wenner® as the first savory, vegan veggie snack food.

You can buy Gardenbar® products at www.buygardenbar.com.
Under the terms of the letter of intent, Nutroganics will acquire 51% of the outstanding capital stock of GPC in exchange for preferred stock of Nutroganics. In addition, Nutroganics will acquire the remaining 49% of GPC on the 5th anniversary of the acquisition.
