Corporate events come with a lot of moving parts. Even if you’ve already locked in the keynote speaker or main attraction, there’s still a full to-do list that may include catering coordination, tech and AV set up, guest management, and engagement, to name a few. But did you know that snacks can be your secret weapon? They’re tasty crowd pleasers for
According to the dictionary definition, a galette is “a flat round cake of pastry often topped with fruit.” But let’s face it—it’s just a flat pie! My family has made this summer recipe with seasonal fruit for years, and I grew up eating my grandma’s version. I wish I had a photo of her with one of her creations, but
When clients and partners walk into your office, the first thing they see is your reception area. So, how do you make a good impression? A kind and smiling receptionist goes a long way toward helping guests feel welcome and valued—and so do free office refreshments. Whether your client is dropping by for a quick visit or a longer meeting,
One thing I love about being part of a food company is the amazing people I get to meet. Early on in my career with The FruitGuys, I was so excited and proud to explore the often-hidden world of produce. I felt giddy over early morning trips to the market in Philadelphia and visits with farmers who walked me through
The snacks in your break room say a lot about your company culture—so why not use them to foster connection and inclusion? Stocking up on some of the best single-serve office snacks from Black- and LGBTQ+-owned companies will show your team that you care, just in time for Pride Month and Juneteenth.

When The FruitGuys called farmer Jeff Ferrari of Ferrari Farms to check in on his cherry crop, he was praying for dry weather. He told us that in the final days before picking, a drizzle can wreak havoc on an organic cherry farm. “The rain causes the cherries to crack,” Jeff explained. “This last weekend we did get some rain,
In the hectic pace of the modern office, it’s easy to overlook the power of employee appreciation when you’re on a budget. Yet, letting employees know how much you value them is crucial for fostering a positive work environment. The good news is, you don’t need to overthink—or overspend—when it comes to boosting office vibes. “Genuine and thoughtful gestures of
Wondering what fruits are in our fruit delivery boxes in May and why you might not see peaches just yet? I’m here to help. In today’s Chief Banana newsletter, I’m answering some burning questions from fruit fans like you. 1. I saw peaches at the store–why aren’t there any in my FruitGuys box yet? Great question! The harvest of summer
Early Bird Foods & Co. is a nearly 20-year-old company. Its granola is a favorite of Martha Stewart, scored a feature in The New York Times, and even helped inspire the house granola at the Michelin-starred restaurant Eleven Madison Park. But despite this success, the brand doesn’t have a bustling office and a big staff. Instead, Nekisia Davis (Nick-EE-sha) and
Have you heard of The Perk Paradox? In the age of return-to-office efforts, it’s sneaking into almost every workplace and HR department like a kid on the hunt for a cookie jar. The Perk Paradox is another name for the give-and-take relationship between offering workplace perks (like a healthy and delicious office snack program) and sticking to a tight budget.
Since 2013, The FruitGuys Community Fund has given out annual grants of $5,000 or less to small farms and agricultural nonprofits across the country. That first year, we awarded five sustainable farming grants. This year, I’m proud to announce that we’re awarding twenty-one across seventeen states! Each farm will use its grant for a sustainability project. This Year’s Sustainability Projects
In our fast-paced, perpetually on-the-go work lives, snacking has evolved beyond mere indulgence. Those little snacks we throw in our work bags, cars, and backpacks? They aren’t just a quick fix; they’re a fundamental part of a well-rounded diet. Studies show that eating small amounts of food—especially protein—throughout the day can help us maintain our energy levels, reach our fitness
Sometimes we all need a break from the everyday routine. Why not spice things up at the office and surprise your staff with a colorful assortment of exotic fruits?

I had the pleasure of visiting some of our Midwest clients last week. They were so generous with their time, showing me around their offices and explaining how they use our fruit. I noticed a common theme as the day went on: Bananas are the office favorite, and everyone has a favorite banana color. Personally, I like to eat bananas
When you need to rev up your brain for a long work day, go for a high-fiber breakfast. It will focus your mind and, according to the Cleveland Clinic, help lower your cholesterol, which is great news for long-term heart health. One of my favorite high-fiber breakfasts for spring is this granola cereal bowl topped off with fresh fruit. It
For decades, the office has stood as a steady—if sterile—symbol of productivity. Neutral colors, fluorescent lights, and (everyone’s favorite) cubicles have long been considered the optimum environment for distraction-free focus. Stay at your desk as much as possible, the message has been. Maybe get up to grab something quick for lunch, and then get back to work. But these days,
I was driving home last week when I had a sudden flash of memory. I’m standing in the green grass field at my elementary school in the suburbs of Philadelphia. It’s the late ‘80s, and my classmates and I are writing messages about ourselves on notecards and tying them to helium balloons. It’s almost time for the big sendoff: The
When The FruitGuys called farmer Vernon Peterson in late March to talk about organic apricots, he picked up the phone from the middle of his nectarine orchard. His smiling face filled up the video call’s screen, and behind him, we saw a sea of green. “These are our cover crops,” he said, gesturing proudly to what looked like long grasses
