My mother bought me a little countertop dehydrator and I found my new passion. Anything and everything that I could cut up and dehydrate went into that machine. After many failed attempts, I finally figured out how to dry the fruit to perfection and make a great tasting, ripe fresh piece of fruit, turn into the most spectacular portable snack food. I knew I wanted to share my new love with friends and family and so I started to give them the dried fruit as presents, for any holiday or occasion. Families started fighting over the bags and I would hear reports of spouses hiding the treats in order to make them last longer. So the requests came in stating that each family member wanted their own bags. Parents would tell me their kids were asking for more of my dried fruit.  So I put all my energy and effort into starting Nature’z Candyz.

With my new career path and my quest to keep my healthy lifestyle, I began to find myself enjoying Kickboxing and Boot Camp classes that were offered at the local YMCA. After a short while, I got certified and began teaching classes and became a personal trainer. I know how difficult it is to find something that you love to do, and so I feel lucky to have been able to combine my passion for Nature’z Candyz with my work at the gym.

Nature’z Candyz is my pride and joy and run entirely by me. I make, sell and package everything by hand and with lots of attention to detail. I am based out of San Diego which makes it easy to locate local fresh fruits.

When I am not in the kitchen or at the gym, you can find me hanging out with friends, enjoying the great weather and living and loving life.

Thank you for taking the time to read.
