Forest Feast

Forest Feast is a Northern Irish family-run business established in 1996 from a set of shared values.

The brand is at the forefront of the market for premium and innovative dried fruits, nuts and snacks. Forest Feast is a multi-award winning brand and is present in Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and the UK and also exports to over 30 countries across the globe.

The company was founded with an aim of bringing excellent quality ingredients back to Northern Ireland, describing themselves as the original snack explorers. Their shared interests and values have enabled them to source tasty snack food from around the world in an ethical manner. Forest Feast brings the finest quality, premium, traditional and contemporary range of seeds, nuts and dried fruit the whole family will enjoy to the market.

Forest Feast’s ethos is prided on their commitment to partner with suppliers who prioritise the health, safety and welfare of their employees. Forest Feast also guarantees a better deal for its farmers and this engagement has been ongoing since 1997. For example, their famous Exotic Dried Mango is sourced solely from PREDA Fair Trade in the Philippines, run by Nobel Peace Prize nominee Fr. Shay Cullen. Forest Feast also aspires to put sustainability at the forefront of their business practices All of their fruit, nuts and nibbles are examined carefully to ensure that the soya and palm oil sometimes used by suppliers is coming from a sustainable source and if not, they will be influenced to make a change for the better.

The diverse team of snack enthusiasts at Forest Feast devote themselves to sourcing the best ingredients and inspiration for delicious new recipes and snacks. Their experience from differing lifestyles and international travel help make the brand so accessible to the whole family, from the adventurous hiker to the one that’s always on the go.

Forest Feast’s main product lines range from Natural Nut Mixes, Trail Mixes, Slow Roasted Seasoned Nut Mixes, Belgian Chocolate Coated Nuts, Premium Dried Fruit and Gluten Free Granola to Toppers.

Some of their most popular products include the Cookies and Cream Almonds, the Salted Dark Chocolate Almonds, Belgian Milk Chocolate Brazil Nuts and the best-selling Preda Fair Trade Mango.

Forest Feast is a multi-award winning brand, which is no surprise given its strong presence in the UK and Ireland in addition to over 30 countries worldwide.

It has won gold in this year’s UK Freefrom Foods Awards for the top award in the Breakfast Category for its unique Raspberry, Pecan and Apple Topper. It was also awarded bronze in the Savoury Snack and Crackers Category for another original snack – Roasted Nut Mix with Sea Salt and Crushed Black Pepper.

The brand launched its ranges into 480 Sainsbury’s stores in April of this year, which is no surprise given the latest market trends. More consumers are opting for healthier choices with Google searches for “healthy snacks” up 110% in recent times.

Forest Feast’s continued success is evident from its increase in sales particularly in its chocolate ranges. Visit www.forestfeast.com for more.
