Our Story

The story of TerraGift began when three friends vacationed in Turkey. All three were fascinated by archeology and the ancient city of Izmir. Originally known as Smyrna, Izmir was founded long before 3000BC by the Greeks. Historians consider Izmir to have been founded about the same time as Troy. This fairytale city on the coast of the Aegean Sea drew the three wanderers as if by magic.

Little did they know that their excursion into the haunting landscape of Izmir would change their lives … and yours. The three travelers discovered one of Izmir’s long held secrets – some of tastiest and most wholesome apricots in the world.

As travelers do, the trio wandered through the open air markets marveling at the abundance of fresh fruits, vegetables and home-made cheeses. Sipping a sweet and to-die-for Turkish coffee, they got to chatting with a produce vendor who offered them apricots “right from the fields. My family has owned the apricot tree orchid for generations. We’ve always farmed organically. You can taste the difference. Try one.”

They did. Those apricots tasted like a gift from Mother Nature… and, in an instant, TerraGift began the voyage to reality.

The three travelers decided then and there that the world needed those delightful apricots and all the organically grown pomegranates; strawberries; raspberries; lemons, and apples the community of Izmir had to offer. In the form of a 100% healthy fruit bar. Each bar dusted, of course, with shavings from those super-delicious apricots.

When you bite into a TerraGift Fruit Bar, every savory morsel is organically grown with no chemicals, additives, or anything other than pure Turkish fruit. Now, close your eyes and imagine yourself wandering the market places of Izmir with us. Feel the sunshine? Hear the music? Smell the apricot trees?
