Solely was founded as a way to help kids in their community gain easy access to fresh fruit. They noticed that for many children, fresh fruit was scarce and kids were loading up on cheap processed foods at home and in school.

Their idea was simple: create a real fruit bite with the fewest possible ingredients to replace sugar-filled, highly processed snacks. It needed to retain the nutritional benefits of whole fresh fruit, but without added sugar, additives, preservatives, or chemicals.

After some trial and error, they developed a new fruit bite that kept everything good about real fruit but made it affordable, accessible, and easy to store and share. That one idea, replacing sugary snacks with a full nutrition fruit bite, become the start of a new company that has affected the lives of millions of kids and has led to jobs for over 1,000 people.

Solely Fruit Jerky and Dried Fruit products are the evolution of that first fruit bite. They’re convenient, nutritious foods with the fewest possible ingredients and they’re never made with added sugar, preservatives, or additives of any kind. Along the way, they’ve grown hand-in-hand with farmers and created a network of Solely Certified Farms that produce clean, non-GMO, organic fruits, and vegetables.

They’ve developed new processing and mixing methods that help retain the benefits and flavors of whole ingredients, without having to add fillers or flavorings.

Solely made a commitment to transparency and to helping people eat more healthily by making sure that every one of their ingredients is clearly listed on the front of the labels.

They’ve rethought every step of the process because they believe that there’s always a better way and that the foods you eat and feed your families should be simple, clean and transparent, from start to finish.
