When owner of Good Life Market, Ayesha O’Neill was a first time mum, she saw a gap in the market for snacks for kids that weren’t jam packed with additives and preservatives but were also delicious at the same time as being nutritious. “I couldn’t believe how much research the average person had to do to figure out what was in our children’s food.” she told us.

Sourcing fruit from her own Uncle’s farm meant going into business Ayesha knew they were set up from the beginning to have a very small supply chain.

We knew that whatever we did, we wanted to make sure it was sustainable, and that it supported other South Australian small businesses. COVID has been tough on everyone, particularly small business. There are always peaks and troughs, but we have been lucky that once people try our product, they keep coming back!”

And they keep coming back because Good Life Market fruit strips and dried fruit products are full of the good stuff, none of the bad stuff, and very… very yum!

Flavours of fruit strips include tropical, strawberry blueberry and apple and blackberry and apple, as well as combinations with apricot, plum, peach and even mulberry.
