American Gra-Frutti

While doing a quick run through of Whole Foods Monday evening, I stopped in the refrigerated area and devoured a delicious sample of a roasted carob coconut berry drop made by American Gra-Frutti . Yum! Normally, I am not a big fan of carob, however these trufflesque drops were really incredible and changed my mind forever. I bought a container of 6, ate one in the car on the way home, and have thoroughly enjoyed them the past few days.

I was even happier to turn the package over and find out that they are made locally in Marietta, GA!

I will most definitely purchase them again.

“Ok, you may have tried fruitcakes, but never like this!! Love at first tiny bite. Period.” Tom Sullivan

Hi Marilyn,

Today I had the pleasure of tasting (on camera) your delicious Gra-frutti! It is the best I have ever eaten. Wow! I love that you were true to all natural tradition of excellence. There is no compromise on taste. I was hooked on first bite. I am so glad Holly brought me some! Happiest of Holiday’s!

Sincerely,

Tom Sullivan

With great sponsors like Publix, Gatorade, Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, Wellstar, just to name a few, the goal of $195,000 was reached!  Since 1995, over $2,000,000 has been contributed to local children’s charities.

This year, all contributions are donated to the World Children’s Center – “Every Child Deserves a Loving Home”. The World Children’s Center community of neighborhoods and supportive services are located on a sprawling 710 acres in west Georgia centrally located between Atlanta, Birmingham, and Chattanooga. When completely built, the community will include 7 distinct neighborhoods – each with its own park and playground, a school, wellness center, food and clothing distribution center, art center, worship center, among many others.

American GraFrutti passed out samples of its delicious “It’s Not Fruit Cake” and had a delightfully overwhelming response from all ages!

Some of the comments were:

“I like fruit cake, but this is better!”

“You’re right! It’s not fruit cake!”

“It looks healthy, and it’s not too sweet!”

“My son is a fussy eater, and he loves it. He begged me to come over and try it!”

“This is awesome – where can I buy it?”

“This tastes something like my great grandmother made – it takes me back in time!”

“It must be healthy because you guys are not fat!”

To all of the sponsors and attendees who made this a great event—Many Thanks!! These children are our hope – and our future!

Watch for American GraFrutti!! We are taking orders for the holidays!!

We will be at the Cobb Galleria Gardens every Thursday from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm.
