FruitFast - Brownwood Acres

FruitFast - Brownwood Acres All-Natural products to support healthy living. Delivering the Power of Fruit Steady growth ensued and our company won a coveted spot on the Inc.

The story of Brownwood Acres and FruitFastยฎ is as much a part of the rolling orchard land of Northwest Michigan as is the very fruit we use in our line of healthy fruit snacks, drinks and Softgels. Over five generations, Brownwood Acres has developed an internationally recognized product line based on the best super fruits. The business began in 1945 as a roadside market selling honey and produce

from our family farm. Magazine list of the 500 fastest growing privately held companies in the United States two years in a row. Our FruitFast Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate had become the #1 Best Selling Tart Cherry Concentrate brand in the United States. In 2007, Brownwood Acres leveraged it's offerings by acquiring a 50% ownership interest in Underwood Orchards - CherryFlex.com. Products include our CherryFlex line, FruitFast Softgels, Liquid Fruits, and Gels. By using the whole fruit - including the pulp and skin - in a chemical-free process with low heat and no preservatives or fillers - Brownwood Acres/ FruitFast has been able to capture the goodness of the entire fruit. Preserving the healthful benefits of dark skinned whole fruits such as cherries, blueberries, pomegranates, red raspberries, cranberries and concord grapes has led to the development of a growing family of fruit products. Ongoing research and testing will assure that Brownwood Acres FruitFast line will continue "Delivering The Power Of Fruit".

Michiganโ€™s Torch Lake is often compared to the Caribbean, but does it really live up to the hype? With its striking blue water, popular sandbar, and sunset views, itโ€™s easy to see why this Northern Michigan lake lands on so many summer bucket lists.

After visiting for myself, Iโ€™m sharing my honest thoughts on whether Torch Lake truly lives up to the hype.
