Brand

Solely

La Jolla, CA

Solely is a natural products brand from La Jolla, CA with 13 products on Beacon Discovery, mostly shelf stable candy and shelf stable nuts & trail mix & dried fruit. 10 are Certified Non-GMO and 6 Certified Organic, and its range is distributed by UNFI, KeHE and Other.

Solely was born from a simple yet powerful idea: make real fruit more accessible to kids and families who lacked fresh, nutritious options. Too many were relying on cheap, processed snacks, so we set out to create a the best alternative—real fruit bites with the fewest possible ingredients, no added sugar, preservatives, or chemicals. That vision sparked a movement, transforming the way millions of families snack and creating jobs for over 1,000 people. Our Solely Fruit Jerky, Whole Fruit Gummies and gently Dried Fruit are the evolution of that first idea—pure, organic, and minimally processed, never with fillers or additives. We’ve built a network of Solely Certified Farms, working hand-in-hand with farmers to grow the cleanest, tastiest, organic produce. Through innovative processing methods, we preserve the taste and nutrition of whole ingredients without compromise. Transparency is at our core. Every ingredient is listed front and center because we believe food should be simple, honest, and nourishing. From seed to sale, we rethink every step to create better, cleaner, and more sustainable snacks. Because at Solely, we know there’s always a better way to eat well.
