Who They Are:
“Eric Strandberg, his wife Deanna, and their three children farm 400 acres in the sunny Okanogan Valley in northern Washington State. They produce delicious organic apples, pears, and cherries. They have been using organic methods on their farm since 1997. Eric decided to switch to organic methods in order to avoid exposing his children to harmful residues. He has noticed tremendous improvements in the diversity and balance of the natural insect populations on his land since he stopped using conventional pesticides and other chemicals.
The Strandbergs are excited about sharing their certified organic produce with consumers, and Bare Fruit LLC. producing healthy bake-dried fruit for every one to enjoy.”

What is Bare Fruit?
What is Bare Fruit?
Bare Fruit is Fruit Undressed...The fruit, the whole fruit and nothing but the fruit.
Bare Fruit is Delicious...First and foremost, Bare Fruit Apple Chips and Fruit Chunks are Delicious. This is important because, let’s face it, if a snack does not taste great, you aren’t going to eat it.
Bare Fruit is Healthy...Imagine a great tasting snack that is healthy too…Perfection! There are really several types of snacks on the market. Some are great tasting (potato chips really do taste good. But they aren’t good for you.) Some snacks are “better-for-you” (think of granola bars). But there are very few “good-for-you” snacks out there. An apple chip, baked (not fried or freeze-dried) tastes great while still being good-for-you in every way.
Our exclusive process bakes the chip in a way that the natural sugars caramelize on the outside. This provides a sweet and tart flavor combination without adding sugars or flavors. In some of our products we add organic cinnamon and other natural flavors to provide a variety to our customers.
Bare Fruit is Good for the Environment...At Bare Fruit we focus a lot of our energy on not using energy. And, by 2013, we will be 100% carbon neutral. You can be proud that the snack your eating was farmed in a socially responsible way.
Bare Fruit is sourced in the United States...Which is important for several reasons. US grown apples, pears, and other fruits have a quality advantage over those grown elsewhere. For example, the climate in the Pacific Northwest is perfect for growing the sweetest apples in the world. Also, by keeping things close to home, we reduce carbon emissions and support the US economy. We control the process from our Organic Orchards through our exclusive Bake-Dried processing, we use no additional preservatives or chemicals ensuring that you are giving your family the very best.

My Review:
We recently had the opportunity to try one 14 oz. bag of 100% Organic Cinnamon Apple Chips.We really enjoyed the Bare Fruit 100% Organic Cinnamon Apple Chips.My daughter Amelia just loved them she loves fruits and this is a way to make sure she gets her daily fruits.Bare Fruit is a lot more healthier for her then the snacks they have in the stores.A lot of the fruit snacks we have tried are so bitter and sorry to say taste fake.These chips are nothing like those other fruit snacks out in the stores.They taste natural,they do not lose any of flavor.They are nice and crunchy,they do not get soggy like some of the other dried fruit on the market and they do not crumble.The cinnamon adds a great touch to the chips.I love that the Bare Fruit Snacks are easily to trough in a ziplock bag and through in the diaper bag and with the 14 oz. bag,there is plenty to share with others.The Bare Fruit Snacks does not lose it's flavor or becoming stale.Bare Fruit Snacks has a resealable bag.This makes life a lot easier when you are on the go,have children and don't have a chip clip around.Bare Fruit is great if you need something to snack on ( during a long trip,while the kids are studying,or on the way to games and etc.)
