What Is “Healthy Snacks”? |
|
Healthy Snacks
is a healthy option employers can provide
for their employees at work and can be used
as part of a company’s wellness program.
This is year round program with a
month-to-month contract. |
|
We provide
businesses with a mini refrigerator that is
stocked weekly with fresh local fruits.
Healthy Snacks not only promotes a healthy
environment at work, but also provides
employees’ the natural and sustainable
energy needed to keep performing at a high
level. |
|
Studies have
shown that company-based wellness programs
are becoming a strategic imperative, with
returns on investment as high as 6 to 1
(depending on the efficiency of the
company’s program). |
|
According to a
March 2011 article on Livestrong.com only
32.5% of adults consume the minimum fruit
requirement daily. |
|
|
|
What is the process? |
|
ProFarm
Produce will provide and install a small
refrigerator unit at the customer’s
location. This unit will be
stocked with 10 pounds of produce weekly
totaling 40 pounds monthly. We will work
with the customer to arrange a scheduled
drop off that is both consistent and
discrete. |
 |
|
With a variety
of different fruits farmed by ProFarm
Produce, the refrigerator unit will be
stocked with fruits specific to the season.
Therefore, customers can expect multiple
varieties of apples, peaches, nectarines,
apricots, pluots, and pears. |

Where does the fruit come from? |
|
All fruit
under the “Healthy Snacks” program will be
from a local source. Profarm Produce is
based out of Zillah, Washington in the
Yakima valley and will provide the majority
of the produce. Upon times when ProFarm
cannot supply the amount necessary for
delivery we will gain the needed amount from
local farms in the neighboring area. |
