Description: They have a commitment to making their fruit-leathery snack: healthy with very minimal amounts of ingredients and just the right amount of goodness. Produced in Grand Junction Colorado, They use the entire fruit when creating Froodles – yes, even the skin (which adds to the beautiful colors). Sourcing most of their ingredients right from the Colorado Plateau, they puree and mix the ingredients in their facility located near most the farms they source from. Their 4 flavors are created with 4 ingredients or less: fruit and organic extracts. Their team worked with top chefs to create a fruit strip like-no-other, and loved by all ages. Their founder, Bill, once had a peach farm of his own that grew into a dream of creating soft fruit leather snacks. Their company, High Desert Farms, got its start in 2013 when it was selected as 1 of 4 winners of the Telluride Foundation’s Telluride Venture Accelerator. A smart and robust group that helped Bill and High Desert Farms in every direction needed to go to get Froodles where it is today. Launching in August 2015, Froodles hit the ground running. They have received requests from many different industries including: Natural Grocery, Outdoor Industry, Event Planning, Box Companies to name a few…from all over the country. As they are growing and receiving requests from healthy conscious parents asking “Where can they buy Froodles?”, they moved forward with making Froodles available for purchase on Amazon.com to have them delivered to your door as they work on expanding to your local grocery store.
