Charcuterie is a form of Art, Julie Wismann, owner of Savory Snackables brings this artistry to life by personalizing each board to reflect the person and occasion. “The whole point for me is to create the essence of what the moment is about,” she says. Savory Snackables is more than just a small-batch charcuterie company-it’s a labor of love with a heartfelt back story.
Above all, Julie is a mother, and her daughter Kara has been a driving inspiration behind Savory Snackables. Kara, who lives with disabilities, motivated Julie to engage with the community and use charcuterie as a platform to support and empower others with disabilities. Julie launched a pilot program designed to enrich the lives of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Through team-building charcuterie classes, event planning, and birthday parties, the program equips participants with valuable kitchen skills that could potentially lead to paid gigs.
Julie also collaborates with community day programs, involving participants in creating and preparing for her events, helping them develop life skills and confidence. “Everybody knows about food, but now we’re getting adventurous with it - through touch, taste, texture, visuals- it’s a whole new ball game!“, she says. Julie’s mission is to foster growth and learning, partnering with organizations like The Arc, Developmental Pathways, Care and other local multi-county programs.
