Chiwis is a company that is passionate about healthy snacks that taste amazing. We started with a focus on the kiwi, a superfood that is highly underused in the snack aisle. Kiwis are a nutritional powerhouse, and when they're made into chips in our super special Chiwis method, they taste just like healthy sour patch kids! What you see is what you get with Chiwis. No junk added, ever. Chiwis is a snack you can feel good about eating at home, on the go, at work, or on top of a mountain! As the business grows we are expanding into other 100% natural fruit snacks that everybody can feel good about eating.

At Chiwis we're passionate about making snacks that aren't just delicious, they're good for the environment. By using upcycled fruits, and as much of the fruit as possible in our products, we've saved over 700,000 lbs of fruit from landfills, reducing hundreds of tons of food waste (350 to be exact!!), and reducing harmful greenhouse gases that are produced by rotting fruit in landfills. We are so excited to be a finalist for the BC Food & Beverage Rise Awards this year for the Sustainability Award, but we need your votes! If you love our snacks and have any free time, you can vote as many times as you'd like before September 23rd! vote here - http://bit.ly/3Xhub8G thank you!!

I'm so lucky...I get to connect with the best people! Recently, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with the founder of Chiwis , and let me tell you, it was an absolute blast! First and foremost, shout out to Sarah Goodman—you're doing all the right things! 🙌 I've said it before, and I'll say it again... success in the CPG world isn't just about having a tasty product and assuming everyone will love it, it's so beyond just that. Sarah is nailing it with Chiwis and here's what I loved: 1️⃣ The brand story and unique value proposition. Absolutely spot on. Sarah has hit the sweet spot with not only understanding her consumers, but how to communicate to them, honing in on the problem she is solving and addressing a real market need. 2️⃣ Chiwis' packaging... Love at first sight and really stands out on shelves. (I am a sucker for good packaging). 3️⃣ Operations and logistics. Locked and loaded. The processes, systems, and automations are in place for sustainable, profitable, and scalable growth. 4️⃣ Unit economics? Check and check. For both D2C and B2B, paving the way for optimal broker, distribution, and retail partnerships. My only downside?...Well... Why didn't I discover Chiwis sooner?!! (P.s Chiwis does tastes amazing incase you were wondering). Super stoked to follow along Sarah's journey and the very cool projects she is cooking up. Until next time... Stay beautiful my LinkedIn fam. xo

Eight months ago I was approached with an opportunity to export Chiwis to Costco Wholesale Japan. Honestly, at first I thought the email from someone saying they saw us in Costco Canada and wanted to get us into Costco Japan was a scam. Alas, it was for real and our exclusive product for Costco Japan, a 100% upcycled Apple Chip, made their way over the ocean and are now on the floor at 33 warehouses. The photo below was sneakily taken by a friend of our trade commissioner, I would have waited to share a better photo but I'm just too excited!! Working with Costco Japan has been a dream, and I cannot be more proud of myself and my team for making this happen. Our chips have been available for less than a week and we've already got another order for two ocean containers of our tasty chips for snack lovers in Japan. Life is wild.

LinkedIn Fam! We are looking for companies that may be able to use the fines from our chips that we don't put into our retail bags. We have so much pineapple, kiwi, coconut, and orange "dust" and small pieces that we know could be an amazing addition to an exising product. As an environmentally focused upcycled fruit chip brand, we want to reduce waste as much as we can. Please let me know if you know anyone who could use our tasty bits left over from packing! Ideas: Ice cream, granola, energy bites, chocolate barks, the opportunities are endless :)
