Hi I’m Courtney- a nurse, a mom of four, and the heart behind Blue Ridge Organic.

Like so many parents, I’ve spent countless hours juggling work, family, and the daily grind of life. When the pandemic hit, I was pregnant with our fourth child, managing the chaos of remote school, meal prep and endless snacks, all while leading a team of nurses. It was exhausting - and eye-opening.

We were living a typical Midwest suburban life, but we craved more. More simplicity. More connection. More intention. So, we embarked on a journey to a healthier way of living and traded sidewalks and cul-de-sacs for 20 acres of fresh air in rural South Carolina.

As we settled into our healthier lifestyle, one struggle remained: finding clean, nourishing snacks for my kids that didn’t come loaded with junk. Even options marketed as “healthy” are filled with seed oils, artificial sweeteners, and ingredients I can’t pronounce. As a nurse, I’ve seen firsthand how deeply our health is connected to what we eat, and the choices we make every day either nourish or deplete us. Food is medicine.

That’s why I started Blue Ridge Organic.

Our mission is simple: to create clean, organic snacks that fuel both kids and parents on the go- without compromising nutrition or taste. Our signature Mighty Bites are gluten-free, dairy-free, and made without refined sugars, seed oils, gums, or artificial flavors. Just real, wholesome ingredients you can feel good about.

This isn’t just a business for us- it’s a way of life. It’s about returning to the basics, nourishing our families with real food, and building a community that believes in living a healthier, more vibrant life.

With love,

Courtney Tedesco
