"Truly Healthful Indulgence"

- Michael, TonTon's Artisan Affections

Hello! My name is Michael Antonopoulos. People call me TonTon.

TonTon's Artisan Affections was founded in 2012 to help bring healthy food and quality jobs to the Rogue Valley. We now have 5 employees; all make a living wage.

I used my Kiva loan to purchase a sealing machine to automate hummus production.

My advice to borrowers is "Keep going, don't stop. Remember: No is half-way to Yes. Not asking is all-the-way to a No."

I'd like to tell the Kiva team: "Thank you for all you do!!!"
