You may remember that in a few posts back I introduced you to Harvest Box, the guilt-free snacking company that delivers treats straight to your home or office. Last time, I posted an unboxing and review of one of their boxes so you can read that HERE if you're interested. This time I'm bringing to you a Q&A from my mini interview with Harvest Box. Read on to find out more about the beginnings of this box, breaking down the myth that snacking is bad for you and looking into the future of Harvest Box.
Where did the
inspiration for Harvest Box come from?
Founders, James Scott, George Stooke
and William Cook started
Harvest Box because, having grown frustrated with the lack of healthy snack
options in the workplace themselves, they guessed others must feel the same! They were keen to
create a business they could be proud of – a business that contributes to
healthier eating choices for people at work or home. Harvest Box aims to
eliminate calorie and sugar-laden quick fixes by bringing healthy snacks to
you, so making the right choice becomes super convenient!
Our tagline is ‘Say
Hello to Guilt-Free Snacking’ and we love making it easy for people to do just
that.
How does Harvest Box work and what is
your favourite aspect of it?
The process is simple – choose a delivery day, tell us what you do (and
don’t!) like, and we’ll send you a box of healthy treats each week, hand-picked
to suit your tastes. We think the best aspects of the service are the element
of surprise, because you don’t know what you’ll get each week, and the
convenience factor. It’s all too easy to resort to chips and chocolate when
that 3pm slump kicks in, but if there’s a Harvest Box on your desk, there’s no
need!
What kind of snacks can we expect to receive in a Harvest Box?
We’re proud to say that our
range of dried fruit, nuts, seeds, crackers and treats is the biggest it’s ever
been – there are 60 mixes in total. Some of our customers’ current faves are: Strawberry Milkshake (strawberries, cranberries, blueberries and
yoghurt balls), We Love Nuts (roasted almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews and peanuts) and Super Mix (a trail mix featuring Queensland-grown pineapple and white
chocolate).
Harvest Box seems to break down the myth that snacking is bad for you, what is
your philosophy on this?Absolutely! Snacking gets a bad rap because it’s been so
difficult to make good choices until recently. Choosing nuts, dried fruit and
seeds over chips and chocolate takes away the guilt element and means that you
can actually celebrate and enjoy a little treat in between meals. Our
portion-controlled snacks keep you fuller for longer and are bursting with
healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and a heap of other stuff that makes your body
happy. And, if your body’s happy, energetic and not craving for anything,
you’re far less likely to overindulge on the stuff that’s not so good for you.
Are there any upcoming projects or plans happening with Harvest Box?Yes, it’s an exciting time for us as we’ve just launched a
range of our products in Coles Australia-wide! Rather than replacing our
Harvest Box service, which is going from strength to strength, we see Snack
Packs as a natural extension. They’re perfect for people who want to grab
something on the go and we’ve actually designed them in response to feedback
from our weekly box customers, who have told us they’d love to see our products
in supermarkets and convenience stores. We’re delighted with the response the
Snack Packs have had so far and we’re really glad to be making guilt-free
snacking easier than ever before. Find out more here: http://www.harvestbox.com.au/HB/
That concludes my interview with Harvest Box, I hope that you enjoyed learning a bit more about the company on a more personal level. Don't forget to go check out the
unboxing and review if you haven't already.
Thanks for reading!
