Rio's Celestial Alchemy co. was an idea that was formed around December 2025. After losing my best friend, Rio Broussard, in October of that year i was and still am, a little lost without him. I wanted him to live on in the memory of something great. I want people to know who he was, and how much he meant to this world, even if it was to just one girl. I started drawing a comic idea of Rio traveling the cosmos trying different snacks. he was a big foodie. i like to imagine that he isn't really gone, and if you've lost someone you love, you know this to be true. The logo and name honor him, and the products reflect his journey, intertwined with my own, and a love of food.

I am most proud of the idea that all our products are shelf-stable when stored appropriately. There's nothing more frustrating then going to use a product and it has spoiled. For freeze-dried products, they quickly gather moisture from the air and lose their coveted crunch. I have gone through several packaging options in the last year researching and developing a method that I feel good selling to you, and before even launching any of my products.
