The Power of the Hobby-Business: Raw Vegan Sweets & Real-World Feedback 🍬🌱
Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a real-life snapshot of my small hobby-business journey with you — and I’d love your thoughts.
I make healthy raw vegan sweets (no added sugar) and recently sent samples to four very different outlets. The feedback I got was incredibly diverse — and revealing:
---
#### 🧾 The Feedback
1. Small Artisan Shop
“Packaging great, product great, customers love it! When can I get more?”
2. Local Farm Shop (sells bio-veg + animal products)
“Font on packaging too small, customers can’t read ingredients. Rolls sell better than slabs. No special sales excitement.”
3. Large Organic-Producer and Distributor
“The products don’t taste sweet enough. If you create sweeter recipes, we could test again with our customers.”
4. Direct Customer (visiting Paraguay soon)
“Price okay, weight and packaging adapted to my needs. Loved that the slabs can be folded to save space.”

### 🧠 My Hobby-Business Reflections
As a hobbyist, I have the freedom to:
- Adapt products for each partner
- Only work with those who align with my values
- Decide whether effort = worth (for me, the seller, the client, and nature)
But I’m at a crossroads:
Option A: Customize for each feedback type (improve packaging, create sweeter version, keep the excited partners).
Option B: Focus only on the enthusiastic and constructive partners — and let go of the mismatches.
Option C: Close this “hobby-shop” and find new products or partners that fit better from the start.

### 💬 Let’s Inspire Each Other!
Feedback like this is pure gold — it’s how we grow.
I’d love to hear from you:
- What products or services do you offer?
- What’s the most surprising or useful feedback you’ve received?
- How do you decide which feedback to act on — and which to let go?
Your stories and approaches can help all of us navigate the beautiful, messy, and real journey of sharing what we love with the world.
Can’t wait to learn from your experiences! 🙌✨
