Make Work More Fun with Hickory Farms!

If you missed Employee Appreciation Day on March 1st, you still have another opportunity to show your employees or coworkers your appreciation. April 1st is National Have Fun at Work Day. We think this is a perfect opportunity to go out of your way to treat your employees or coworkers. Not to mention it’s a lot nicer than an April Fool’s Day prank!

And we have a great idea for you, too. Why not turn a table of the break room into a tasty spread of Hickory Farms gourmet sausage and cheese? As Business News Daily notes in “11 Things That Make Workers Happy,” providing food in the office is a simple yet great way to create a favorable work environment.

Your employees and coworkers will be grateful for the opportunity to skip their microwave meals that day and instead enjoy a plate of fresh, gourmet nuts, cheese, crackers, sausage, and fruit. And a surprise spread from Hickory Farms also gives you and your employees or coworkers the chance to socialize and have a little fun. Remember that happy employees are often more creative and more productive as well as better leaders and team players!

A snack or lunch crafted from hearty and delicious ingredients from Hickory Farms doesn’t have to happen only around Employee Appreciation Day or National Have Fun At Work Day, though. It could also be a great way to help coworkers and employees get through a stressful deadline or prepare for an important business engagement. Consider it brain food!

Let Hickory Farms Help You Get Healthy for National Nutrition Month

Many people make a New Year’s resolution to improve their health by eating right and exercising. But once they are back into the routine of work and family activities, it’s easy to backslide after a few months.

Perhaps that’s one of the reasons why March is designated as National Nutrition Month. National Nutrition Month was formed by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics as a way to make the public more aware of the importance of making informed food choices, and establishing good eating and exercise habits. National Nutrition Month couldn’t come at a more perfect time, as many people are either renewing their resolution to become healthier or are looking to get fit as we move into spring and, later, swimsuit season.

Each year, National Nutrition Month has a theme, and this year’s is “Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day.” The idea behind the theme is for individuals to create personalized healthy eating.

As we have shared before, Hickory Farms can help you achieve your goal of healthier eating. Our various fruit gift baskets are filled with juicy fruits like Crown Comice® Pears, apples, oranges, kiwis, and mangoes. Fruits are a wonderful source of carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other nutrients that are necessary for a healthy body. Add them to a salad, create healthy side dishes, or simply enjoy them as nature intended.

If you prefer a little crunch in your diet, opt for nuts! They offer a number of cardiovascular benefits and are packed with energy-boosting protein. Several of Hickory Farms gourmet food gifts include crunchy nuts.

Many people are also discovering the benefits of a gluten-free diet – not just people who have gluten intolerances. Gluten-free diets can help individuals reduce the risk of health conditions like diabetes and certain forms of cancer. They also strengthen the immune system in order to keep viruses and illness-causing germs at bay. Several of Hickory Farms gourmet food products are gluten-free and are great to keep on hand for worry-free entertaining on a moment’s notice.
