ABOUT US

Stay tuned to get to know more about our Team of professionals…

Our mission is to build a portfolio of complimentary food and beverage products for selected US distribution channels located in the southeastern region of the US.

 

Our strategy is based on key underlying trends – the supply and acceptance of Internationally sourced products continues to grow in the US food and beverage channels – technology advances in packaging, shipping, and distribution are creating new opportunities – global warming and rising labor costs are impacting crop yields and disrupting pricing in key food and beverage categories. We believe undervalued locations are emerging.

We offer customers higher value for their dollar, lower product costs vs the competition for same or better quality.

 

Our product lines – fruit preserves, fruit topping, pastry fruit, fruit juice, dried fruit snacks, cherry products, honey, nuts – walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, nut butters, health bars, baby food, wine, and fruit brandy. High quality cooking nut and seed oil, grains – ALL ORGANIC.
Yes, one could say we are a little fruit crazy 😉
