"There is also a price value that our customers will experience. People can spend $0.99 to $1.29 on our four-ounce cups, in comparison to other products on the market that are available at a retail price of $4.99 for a 10-ounce organic grape. The grapes that we pack in the Organic Handy Candy are all hand-picked and packed fully ripe to ensure an extremely high Brix level that gives them their superb flavor."
Handy Candy is currently being distributed at retailers across the United States and Canada through its distribution partners.
