Way back in 1990 in Columbia, MO, Dave Hockett (the "Head Nut" around here) had an idea.

Most folks he knew worked at businesses that offered stale nuts and ordinary candies in vending machines. Yuck. Boring. Not too healthy, either. Surely there had to be a better snack alternative! So he set out to find it.

What he developed was a line of delicious snacks and a route delivery model that brought fresh nuts, dried fruits, chocolates (and mixtures thereof!) directly to companies on a weekly basis. Customers loved it, and so did the businesses who welcomed Dave inside their doors.

(If you think you would enjoy having one of our knowledgable distributors come by your office on a bi-weekly basis with fun, fresh, nutritious snacks, give one of our distributors a call. If you work in their area they will be happy to serve you. If you are in Boone County, Missouri, call Dave at 573-445-8600. He'll be Nuts about including you on his route!)

As the delivery business grew, word spread - and Dave had another idea. (That makes two.)

He opened a storefront, so that people who weren't lucky enough to have I.B. Nuts & Fruit Too representatives come right to their workplace could buy those yummy products they'd heard so much about.

Since "the third time's the charm", Dave set out to find another good idea - and began offering Distributorships to other entrepreneurs.

Now you too can enjoy these yummy treats, either by visiting one of our local stores and purchasing direct, or by ordering from this website (his FOURTH good idea, but who's counting?)
