Peaceful Fruits is a very small company in the heart of Akron, Ohio . . .
. . . but making our snacks is as simple as 1, 2, 3! Peaceful Fruits makes healthy sweet snacks by hand to create full wage jobs for people with disabilities. We take extra time and extra care to stay true to our mission and the quality that makes Peaceful Fruits special. Check out our handmade fruit snack making process with a behind-the-scenes look at our production!
Step 1.) Mix up 100% organic, just whole fruit purees into our delicious flavor blends
That’s it - we don’t add anything else. No extra colors, no strange preservatives - nothing.
Our organic fruit snacks are just whole fruits with no added sugar and they’re never from concentrate.
Step 4.) Snappy wrap-up
When the snacks are ready to eat, our all-star team puts them in their packaging and seals them up. Our fruit snacks have a great shelf life - just about a year!
. . . but we don't expect them to stay in your pantry that long ;)
Step 2.) Pour our fruit puree blend into fruit snack sized tray slots.
Next we drizzle acai in a fun zig zag shape on top.
We love our acai drizzle design but we also want to hear from you!

Step 5.) Our all-star team organizes flavor batches
We work with The Blick Center in a full wages job program for people with developmental disabilities. These all-stars are responsible for getting our healthy and sweet snacks from Akron to you!
Step 3.) Next we have to dry the fruits!
To do this, we stack the molds and then we let the dehydrators work their magic!
Our slow-dried fruit snacks lock in all the good stuff and nutrients so you can forget about a post snack crash. Instead, our snacks power you up with just fruit so you can keep going until you don’t have to.
Step 6.) Put the snacks in the packages and send them out!
From online orders to wholesale, our superstar shippers get it done!
