We are Marina and Anya, the founders of Fruitiki, a company passionate about creating healthy and delicious snacks. We are also proud to introduce a special member of our team: Kira, Anya’s daughter and our part-time chief taster! 😊
A Journey Through Hardship
Two years ago, our lives were turned upside down when we had to flee our happy and peaceful lives in Ukraine, entering a world of complete uncertainty. With the men in our families becoming soldiers, we found ourselves having to support them while navigating this new reality. Kira, who was only three at the time, struggled with the changes after being uprooted from a loving and protective environment.
Thanks to the incredible support of our Estonian friends, we slowly regained our footing. However, during this difficult time, we realized that stress had led us to rely on sugary snacks, and we knew it couldn’t go on like that. That’s when we remembered an old dream: creating healthy snacks for the whole family.
From a Dream to a Thriving Business
Our first batch of snacks, shared with friends and acquaintances, was met with overwhelmingly positive feedback. People loved them and kept asking where they could buy more! At that moment, we knew there was no turning back. We quickly acquired the necessary equipment and started production. The excitement was immense – our first orders, regular customers, and glowing reviews kept us motivated to push forward.
We began with just eight flavors of marshmallows. Today, our range has expanded to 18 Fruit Rolls, 11 types of frips, apples with agave syrup and nuts, and meat jerks. All our products are made exclusively from natural ingredients, with no added sugar, no colorings, and no preservatives.
Fruitiki’s Growing Success
In just one year, hundreds of people across Estonia have fallen in love with our healthy snacks. We’ve also partnered with several cafés and organizations. While we’re proud of what we’ve achieved, we know that to keep growing and continue developing new products, we truly need your support.
Thank you for being part of our journey, where health and happiness come together through wholesome snacks!
