Made in Mozambique

There’s little that tastes better than ethically grown and produced cashew. In fact, that’s the story of Sunshine Nuts, Snackboxtogo wants to contribute to this through the collaboration it has. We would like to tell you more about the story behind Sunshine Nuts.

Snackboxtogo is a company of faith and as such we have become master distributor for the Sunshine nut company. Our Cashews are of the highest quality you can get. With every bag sold we change lives for the community in Mozambique, the story of Don Larson, the CEO of this company, is incredible.

 

“At Sunshine Nut Co., being a little “nuts” is part of the job description. I started Sunshine Nut Co. after enjoying a successful 25-year career in the corporate food industry. In 2011, I gave it all up and moved my family to Mozambique to start Sunshine Nut Co. “

 

“It wasn’t an immediate decision. During my time as Director of Cocoa Operations at Hershey, I travelled to developing nations to source cocoa and witnessed the effects of extreme poverty firsthand. I had worked for years as the go-to “turnaround guy” at Hershey solving seemingly insurmountable problems in varying departments. This role led me to a problem that truly felt impossible – but that didn’t stop me from wanting to solve it. “

 

“Since we moved to Mozambique in 2011, we have found our own lives transformed. In the past six years, we have built a world-class food factory hiring primarily adult orphans. We have developed relationships with orphanages and other community organizations throughout Mozambique where we support and develop projects with 90% of our profits. In 2014, we landed on US shelves and today, we have an all-African staff of 30 producing the best tasting cashews under the sun! “

 

“We hope when you buy our cashews, you not only taste the difference in freshness and quality, but also find hope in knowing that you are making a difference in the lives of the poor and orphaned in Mozambique. “

 

“Sunshine’s purpose is to develop a profitable market for smallholder farmer communities “transforming the lives of the poor and orphaned in sub-Saharan Africa.” The company’s roasting factory employs young men and women who were abandoned or orphaned in their youth by years of violent civil war. “
