Peace pieces fruit mix hits the shelves

Cord has joined forces with the gourmet fine food company Cotswold Fayre to launch the Peace Pieces snack pack into the retail market.

Sales of the ethically sourced pack of dried fruits – including papaya, goji berries, raisins, apricots, pineapple and cranberries from eight countries- will support Cord’s peace building work.

"Peace Pieces are a deliciously simple way of helping achieve a more peaceful world for some of the bottom billion- people living on less than a dollar a day," said Cord Chief Executive Brian Wakley.

"We are delighted to be working with Cotswold Fayre to distribute the brand nationwide," he added.

The company supplies over 1200 fine food retailers, farm shops and delicatessens and the venture with Cord is the first involving a charity.

“We are so pleased to be working alongside Cord in taking their Peace Pieces to market in the UK, as they dovetail beautifully with both our existing high quality range food products and own charitable initiatives," said Cotswold Fayre Managing Director Paul Hargreaves.

"We look forward to bringing revenue to Cord as sales increase amongst independent retailers,” he added.
