Have you heard of Foodie Pen Pals? I hadn’t heard of it until last month and my first thought was “what the heck? How could I have not been involved in this sooner?” I was so excited!
We all know I love mail. I love sending mail, whether it’s an Easter egg, a bottle filled with the Oregon Coast or baked goods. And getting mail? I LOVE IT!!!
The Lean Green Bean started the Foodie Pen Pal program back in September 2011. It began with 30 participants and has quickly grown to over 1000 participants in the US alone. How cool is that?!?!
So what is the Foodie Pen Pal program? You sign up and on the 5th of each month you get an email with who your pen pal is. You email them, asking what they like, are allergic to, etc. Then by the 15th of the month you send them a package filled with delicious foodie type goodies. They can be homemade, store bought, fun, healthy, delicious and sugar filled (depending on your pen pals likes.) Awesome, right???
My Foodie Penpal (who bought for me) was Meaghan. Look what she sent to me!
It was filled with homemade s’more cookies
And so much more! There was peach salsa, apple spread, fig preserves, blueberry acai gummy pandas, a pumpkin spice bar, vanilla sugar scrub, PopChips and some English Breakfast tea. Amazing, right?

I will definitely participate again! How fun. And a huge thanks to Meaghan for all the goodies.
That Newman’s peach salsa is one of my all-time favorites! I put it in tacos, etc., but also on salads, in sandwiches, and frankly, right into my mouth from the jar! Looks like a great box you received.
I seem to be the last one to find out about fun things–do I live under a rock???
