Drink Up!
What does it take to roll up your sleeves and start a company that is designed to offer a high-quality organic beverage with an emphasis on sustainability? “It was the mom thing,” says Amy Barnouw, who along with her husband Tom, founded the Planet Fuel Beverage Company. Barnouw, a dedicated environmentalist, wanted her three children to have something healthy to drink. She spent hours watering down organic juice. Soon she and her husband, who grew up in Katonah, decided it was time to go into business and help other moms who were doing the same. Planet Fuel offers four flavors: Organic Apple Grape, Organic Cherry Lemonade, Organic Tropical Punch and Organic Cactus Cooler (Mango/Lime/Pear), which can be found at Palmer’s Market, Darien, Garelick & Herbs, New Canaan and Greenwich, Conn. as well as Bedford Gourmet, Bedford and Noka & Noka Joe’s, Katonah. The drinks are made with pure spring water, organic juices and no refined sugar, preservatives or artificial sweeteners. Retail price from $1.99 to $2.50 for a 10-ounce bottle.
