You can buy a Fruity Devon pack lunch from...
Various supermarkets,
Or online.
To customise your very own lunch box go to our website where you can pick your colour and fruit to go on it for only £1 extra cost. www.FruityDevonBoxes.co.uk
Our aims and designs
Our design is aimed for children that are the age of 3-10 years old.
Our aim is to make the Fruity Devon pack lunches out of recycled plastic, in vibrant colours. This is good for the environment.
The ingredients
The ingredients used in Fruity Devon are all natural, and produced locally. They all have high health benefits insuring a healthy lifestyle.
The recipe cards included are:
A fresh fruit yogurt
Muesli cereal bars
Fruit smoothie
Chicken pasta
And carrot bites
Food categories and there effects on the body!
Vitamins- Are in fruits such as oranges. Vitamins are absorbed into the body.
Protein- Are from chickens, cows, pigs etc. They help growth repair and helps build strong muscles.
Starches- Are rice, pasta and potatoes. Starches are a filling food so that children do not need to snack on fatty foods.
Minerals- Minerals provide structure to bones and teeth and participate in energy production.
Fats- Oils, sugars etc. Fats maintain the health of skin and hair.
Why do we have local produce?
We use local produce because... It saves money as you do not have to transport it. It has locally sourced foods so you know what goes into
it. The food would also be fresher as it does not have to
travel a long distance. It also does not produce a large amount of fossil fuels
which is beneficial to the environment. As a result of our investigation into the mileage we have
found out that getting food from Britain is a lot more cheaper than buying food from abroad, also helps to reduce the global carbon footprint.
Marketing
We have chosen to market our product mainly for the ‘Back 2 School’ sales after the summer holidays , for Christmas presents and January Sales!
Choosing methods of marketing such as Radio adverts, adverts in children's magazines and newspapers. We chose not to use TV as it is specifically for Devon and the cost is large!
Where we get some of our ingredients from!
Instead of getting some fruits from abroad(for example raspberries and strawberries) you can get it from Lifton strawberry fields which is located in Devon however if you live in the South of Devon there is a local farm shops such as Riverford Farm Foods.
Strawberries and raspberries have a large amount of vitamin C in them which is a good and effective source of nutrients.
