Established in 1998 by Stephanie Blackwell and later joined by her son Matthew Blackwell, family-owned and operated, Orange, CT based Aurora Products packages only the highest quality all-natural and organic products. Originally launched as dried fruit, nut, and candy company, Aurora now carries a complete line of competitively priced dried fruits, granolas, trail mixes, Salad Toppings, raw/roasted/candied nuts, and real chocolate and yogurt covered confections. Aurora's entire lineup is certified free of any artificial additives/preservatives/retentioners. Aurora has grown within the nuts and dried fruits category and established the Aurora Natural™ Brand as a staple in the northeast Grocery. Beyond the branded product, Aurora will assist in developing a private label program for our retail partners. This allows for a shelf-ready, complete, and uniform line of own-brand offerings. With Aurora's reputation for consistent and reliable quality and deliverability, it's no wonder the program is in such high demand. Aurora not only is a leader in providing new all-natural items but also strives to keep a sustainable environment and give back to their community. Aurora believes that increasing the bottom line is best achieved by prioritizing employee morale and customer relationships. Their packaging includes the use of recycled plastics, bio-diesel trucks, energy-efficient lighting/HVAC/manufacturing equipment, and supporting programs like Habitat for Humanity which aim to empower and lift up the residents in our community.
