Graze Craze®, a booming new concept in charcuterie boards and boxes for healthy lunches, office catering and special events, recently opened its first location in Zillah at 616 Railroad Ave., Suite A. Graze Craze is the newest food franchise to join the community of award-winning brands affiliated with United Franchise Group™ (UFG).
Graze Craze’s first location in Zillah is owned and operated by local farmer and wine-enthusiast, Iva Foreman, who is excited to share this new business venture with her family. Foreman has always had a passion for charcuterie, so when she discovered Graze Craze, she knew it would be the perfect complement for Yakima County’s wine market. With over two decades of experience in the wine and hospitality industries, Foreman expects the new charcuterie concept to thrive in the area due to extensive local wine tourism and the quality of the grazing boards. Foreman is also an active member of her community and plans to use her Graze Craze to support philanthropic causes that are close to her heart.
“I have always loved grazing and am excited to share my passion and expertise with the community,” said Foreman. “I couldn’t think of a better home for Graze Craze than the heart of wine country in the Pacific Northwest.”
