Growing bodies are demanding. They require enough calories, protein and proper nutrients to fuel growth and development. This isn’t new news. In fact, if you are a parent of a quickly growing child, you are no stranger to these needs. So, what does it look like to provide your child with sufficient calories, protein and nutrients? All the while keeping the not so favorable fixings out of their diet? Well to start, you must know which ingredients have the greenlight for growth, and which ones are a no go. Parents, we are going to keep this simple and straight forward:

• Organic and all-natural is a bonus for the entire family.
• Protein is essential at every meal, but it must be high quality.
• Sausages and brats are kid-friendly favorites.
• Nitrates and nitrites have no place in your family’s diet. Look for nitrate-free and nitrite-free labels on the proteins you purchase for your kids.
• Strive to supply your family with sustainably sourced meats.
• It must taste good.

Lucky for you, Charcutnuvo sausages are as nutritional as they are delicious. Your children, no matter their age, will be fooled by the flavor in front of them.

Charcutnuvo & Denver Kids

At Charcutnuvo, we know that fueled bodies are necessary for play, work, learning, and even rest. This holistic approach to wellness is embodied by Charcutnuvo owner and CEO, Eric Gutknecht, and is evident in both his sausage making and philanthropy. In fact, Eric serves on the Board of Directors of Denver Kids, a Denver-based nonprofit that provides comprehensive services to youth so they can live to their full potential. From long-term counseling and mentoring, to academic and social-emotional supports, Denver Kids has a proven track record of helping kids be successful in the long term. Eric has long used his resources, business and personal networks to support Denver Kids’ efforts. From sponsoring a Colfax Marathon fundraising team, to dedicating time as a board member, his versatile involvement reflects his commitment to children’s health. And while it may seem funny to connect the dots between a sausage company and a kid focused nonprofit, Charcutnuvo finds the two to be a perfect fit. The ability for children to excel is deeply rooted in their health. Additionally, integrity, leadership, learning, excellence, and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are Denver Kids’ stated values. These values are core to Charcutnuvo, as well.

A Special Commitment in September 2021

This month, Charcutnuvo and Denver Kids are coming together in a new way. For the entire month of September, 10% of all Charcutnuvo online sales will be donated to Denver Kids. As proceeds are donated, Denver Kids will have the resources to further invest in the communities they serve. And as you show your support by purchasing Charcutnuvo products, you can rest assured that your family is honestly indulging in the highest quality sausage on the market. Charcutnuvo products are made with ingredients sourced from local ranchers who do not use antibiotics or hormones. Our sausages are free of nitrates or nitrites. Additionally, our organic and product line contain all organic and non-GMO ingredients. These qualities are reflective of Charcutnuvo’s commitment to keeping your family fueled, naturally.
