I recently received samples of Orchard Bars from Liberty Orchards. These bars are really very tasty and delicious! Each bar contains no preservatives, is 60% organic, non GMO, vegan, kosher, dairy free, and gluten free. The three flavors I tried are Pineaqpple Coconut & Macadamia; Strawberry Raspberry & Walnut; and Blueberry Pomegranate & Almond. As soon as you open the wrapper on all three flavors, the aroma was so enticing. They smelled exactly like the fruits for which they were named. Two weeks later, I can still detect the fruit smell inside the wrappers!
Pineapple Coconut Macadamia
The Pineapple Coconut Macadamia was my favorite of the three we tried. The pineapple flavor was sweet, and combined with the coconut it gave the bar a real tropical taste. The macadamia nuts were the perfect complement. On the “con” side, the bar was a bit sticky and we needed to wash our hands after we ate them. We would order more though, simply because they tasted sooo good!

Strawberry Raspberry Walnut
My husband’s favorite was the Strawberry Raspberry & Walnut. Again, the aroma out of the package was mouth watering, and the taste of the bar was true to strawberrys and raspberries. His only negative comment was that the almonds were hard to chew for someone who wears dentures. He said the bar would be better if it only had walnuts in it and no almonds.

and the 
freeze dried fruit for this review. They both had great fruit flavor that was true to what a real strawberry or a real mango taste like. And while I do like fresh fruit, sometimes it is just not feasible to have fresh fruit with you. For example, when weight is an issue, while hiking in the back country or camping, these little snacks provide a crunchy, tasty, lightweight snack.
