SNACKS & CONFECTIONERY
“We have high hopes as snacking has increased quite dramatically. As this is organic it ticks a lot of boxes, particularly for millennials who are the biggest snack food consumer market.
“They also resonate with ethically and sustainably produced products that are reasonably healthy. And considering this snack is based around coffee which millennials love, we’re sure it will appeal.”
The company, which also produces oils and pantry essentials, is now looking to expand its snack food range.
“We currently have this mix as well as our Lemon Raisins and Macadamia Mix, plus our 100% Organic Ultimate mix in the market. However, we see kids’ snack food as another opportunity. We specialise in sultanas, and as they are in over 70 per cent of all Australian households, they are the perfect foundation for a snack, and we want to elevate it to greater heights for kids.”
Lordsmith said the business has also just harvested the largest organic hemp farm in the country and aims to incorporate hemp into new snack foods and other products.
“It can be hard to sell new products unless you’re working directly with a retailer, however, we will continue to keep tasting and innovating in this space.” ✷
