Raspberries, strawberries out? Discover nutritious snacks!

Fresh strawberries, raspberries and blueberries have now been picked for this year, but nothing is finished yet! You can also get vitamins from our frozen berries or why not from exotic natural fruits... See what else we have to offer and what we mainly do.

Summer was an eventful and exciting time for us, because through fresh berries the sun also reached your table. Many thanks to all berry fans - the number of our friends Facebook's MySnack OTT (Direct-to-Consumer)) group has grown to over 1,300 today.

Let's take a quick look back at what exciting things we brought you this summer and what we can offer you now.

Strawberry and raspberry plantation – berries straight from the field

Our strawberry and raspberry orchard is located on the Lillemäe farm in southern Estonia, from where we brought fresh berries to the capital. In addition, you could order Pärnu County blueberries from us. Later, when our berries were already running out due to this year's small harvest, we also brought fresh raspberries from our neighbor - the only tunnel orchard in Latvia, from where you can get freshly picked, cleanly grown berries picked the same morning. We also went there ourselves to do farm work with the raspberry boy, and of course we brought the harvest directly to you.

We started at 5:00 in the morning to deliver the berries to you by the evening of the same day. Later, towards the end of the summer, we didn't see anything being picked at 5 in the morning. Sometimes we didn't start until 8.

An adventurous berry season

The most vivid memory we all have from this summer is one crazy Raspberry Tuesday - that day, nothing went according to plan.

We started picking raspberries and blueberries in the plantations early in the morning, in order to once again arrive at our meeting point on time. However, on the way to our refrigerated van, the raspberry plantation bus broke down, which meant that our bus had to travel a few hundred kilometers more than originally planned - we needed to get the berries to the van.

At the same time, the organization side was struggling to figure out how to notify the entire queue of subscribers about the late arrival of the berries. So, in about 30 minutes, we learned the wonderful Mailchimp to quickly send out a newsletter to everyone! Of course, our group also helped share the information.

When we finally arrived in Viimsi with the berries, our second car wouldn't start. They quickly helped us get the battery going and we were able to keep going. So we were a little late for the second stop, but we still had a smile on our faces and we delivered the berries home to customers who didn't like the new time, so at midnight we were all ALMOST home. 

At this point, we would like to pay a deep tribute to you - you were very understanding and no one left their berries, but we all got everything delivered nicely ❤️

The brave little boy also earned his daily wage with honor! Some days, kind customers even gave him tips, which are still in his piggy bank.

Berry fans

It was so nice to see familiar faces visiting us every berry day. At the end of the season, we looked at how many people had gone home to buy strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries during the summer.

We have always brought a large part of our berries to Viimsi because that is where our snack warehouse is located. Already 4 years ago, when we started with the fields, the people of Viimsi were the first to help us get going! THANK YOU!

This year, Eneli and Riina bought the most fresh berries from Viimsi. Katrin also went to Keila quite a lot to get berries for her neighbors and relatives. This year, we decided to give the TOP 3 subscribers a prize, which was a bag full of snacks and 100% Chardonnay chocolate sparkling wine. You are super awesome!

Promoters of snack culture 

In addition to popular berries, we also sell healthy snacks on a daily basis. We support young people and amateur athletes. We attend various major events that align with MySnack's values and views. 

It's important to have a healthy snack on hand at all times. Even if you miss lunch, it's important to have a convenient and quick solution to get your nutrients and keep your body charged with healthy energy.

In the summer, we put our team to the test in seven stages of the Estonian Cup cycling marathon, where we gave our all to enjoy nature, the exciting landscape and the competitive spirit. Epp Kärsin also completed the marathon as a member of the MySnack team, winning most of the stages in his age group!

My first children – pea snacks

At the end of the summer, pea pod snacks arrived with our own recipe and designer packaging.

These are low-calorie and light crispy bites, made in the oven without fat. Ideal sources of plant-based protein, easily digestible and rich in fiber. Contain 50% less fat (than common potato chips), without added sugar and gluten-free. You can find both sea salt and cheese flavors in the selection.

You can find them in stores on the crisps or healthy snacks shelf – Tallinna Kaubamaja, Veskimarket and larger Rimi stores and Apollo cinemas. In October 2021, pea crisps will also conquer Prisma and Selver.

Today, pea snacks with sea salt have also found their way into the Fitlap diet plan and onto the tables of healthy food lovers. Read Fitlap's blog post about pea snacks from here.

From producer to consumer

From autumn we will once again be attending producer-to-consumer (OTT) fairs. We have sweet and savory snacks with us, which are suitable for both quick snacks and social sharing. For example, many people like the fruits brought from Vietnam, which are rich in nutrients. By the way, I have also worked in this freeze-drying factory in Vietnam and Thailand! The fruits are grown cleanly and the farmers have done a very good job. You can find a larger selection from here.

On Mondays you can find us at Peetri Market between 5 and 7 p.m., where we will be with our MySnack stage. We can say under the cloak of secrecy that we will also bring frozen strawberries and raspberries picked from the fields of South Estonia in the summer – sweet Sonata and Glen Ample. Let us know in advance (tel. 58 55 44 10) if you would like to come and replenish your winter supplies or simply add sweet berries instead of ice to your cocktail – we will know in advance to bring the appropriate amount. Frozen strawberries and raspberries are also available. strawberries and raspberries Pre-order from our online store.

Our fields and pickers bow down to you and promise that fresh berries will reach you again in the new year! We have charged our solar batteries to face the colorful autumn with you.
