Big Tree Farms joins Frönen on limited-edition Apple Pie dessert at Whole Foods

Big Tree Farms and Frönen have launched a limited-edition Apple Pie dairy-free frozen dessert made with Big Tree Farms Organic Golden Coconut Sugar, now available exclusively at Whole Foods Market for a limited time. The collaboration spotlights coconut sugar in a finished consumer product as shoppers head into the holiday season.

Why it matters: - The collaboration gives Big Tree Farms a consumer-facing showcase for its Organic Golden Coconut Sugar, not just an ingredient listing. - The limited-edition pint taps holiday demand for familiar flavors and shorter ingredient lists. - The product broadens Frönen’s clean-label dessert lineup with a seasonal flavor tied to a recognizable dessert.
