Berkshire Natural Partners With Healthy Beverage Company, Includes Vended Drinks

May 13, 2015

Northampton, MA – May 12, 2015 – Berkshire Natural announces a partnership with Polar Beverages, part of a collaboration with national food manufacturers to co-promote their healthy living products and services. Berkshire Natural, a Massachusetts based healthy snack and beverage company servicing all of New England, will showcase a different brand partner each month along with co-promotion through additional channels such as their blog and social media. In May, Polar Beverages (http://polarbev.com/) will be featured on the website.

Polar Beverages is the country’s largest independent soft-drink bottler and the leader in providing healthy beverage alternatives. Their flavored seltzer waters are made without any added sugar, calories, caffeine, carbs, sodium or gluten, providing consumers the option to drink delicious beverages that are good for them instead of sugar-laden juice and soda. Polar is committed to sustainable business practices and focused on efforts to positively impact the environment. Polar Beverages offers flavored seltzers in cans and bottles, local bottled spring water and O Water, all of which can be found in Berkshire Natural’s healthy vending machines and healthy snack baskets.

“The added amount of sugar that this country consumes through beverages is excessive. There’s been an arms race between beverage manufacturers for many years one company making their beverage sweeter than their competition. In our efforts to help consumers access healthy foods, we’re excited to be able to offer customers a tasty, refreshing drink that’s also healthy,” says Berkshire Natural Co-founder David Starr. “And the fact that we’re working with such a well-respected brand like Polar Beverages – an industry leader and local, family-run business is really just a perfect partnership for our brand. It’s reassuring to think of the tens of thousands of units of Polar Beverages that we sell that have to be transported such short distances from factory to retail outlet. It reduces our carbon footprint by tens of thousands of pounds of carbon emissions.”
