Lehi Valley Trading Company, a leading snack manufacturer based in Mesa, Arizona, is asking people to take its Snack Outdoors challenge (#SnackOutdoors) to inspire them to experience life’s joyful moments through better snacking while reaping the mental and physical benefits of the great outdoors.

“We understand that with hurried and busy lives, joyful moments can seem too few and far between. We live during a modern generation where Wi-Fi and mobile devices dominate our culture, often distracting us from the land and its trails,” said Lehi Valley Trading Company president and owner Lewis Freeman. “Our roots began outdoors in the citrus groves of Lehi, Arizona. The great outdoors is in our DNA. What better way to combine snacking — one of America’s favorite pastimes — with America’s great outdoors and all of the benefits it brings?”

The Snack Outdoors challenge is an eight-week movement created to inspire and fuel your next outdoor activity. The company challenges consumers to get active, snack smarter, have fun and reconnect with the great outdoors for a chance to win a share of $500 in gift card prizes just for sharing the fun.

Starting on March 15, 2019, people can simply choose their next outdoors activity and favorite Lehi Valley Trading Company® snack, then enter for a chance to win by:

1. Visiting a local participating store, between March 15 and May 15, 2019.

2. Taking a picture of their favorite Lehi Valley Trading Company® snack “in-store” or “outdoors.”.

3. Following Lehi Valley Trading Company® on Instagram.com/lehivalley, sharing their snack photo and tagging us with the hashtag #SnackOutdoors.

4. Accepting Lehi Valley Trading Company’s® Instagram® request to follow back (to ensure Lehi Valley Trading Company® may view their photo).

Once participants have completed steps 1-4 above, they’ll automatically enter into the company’s prize contest running. Participants may collect photo likes on their own Instagram® newsfeed. Photos that receive the most likes will make it to the final round. Lehi Valley Trading Company® will request a final vote from Instagram® followers on May 16, 2019. The company will announce winners May 17, 2019. The company’s participating brands include: Lehi Valley Trading Company®, Snackworthy®, High Valley Orchard® and Arizona Snack Company®.

Time Outdoors + Smart Snacking = Big Benefits

Lehi Valley Trading Company® believes the outdoors coupled with smarter snacking are beneficial for everybody. And Americans are increasingly looking for ways to unplug by tuning in to the great outdoors. More doctors are prescribing time outdoors due to the mental and physical benefits of time outside.

“Being outdoors is like taking a multivitamin that revitalizes us and helps us be more present which is a big welcome in our packed schedules,” said Christie Frazier-Coleman, vice president of marketing for Lehi Valley Trading Company. “We want to do something that not only inspires, challenges and makes a difference, but also aligns with Lehi Valley Trading Company’s values. The Snack Outdoors Challenge makes sense for us not only because of our company’s outdoor roots, but many of Lehi Valley Trading Company’s® snacks are outdoor adventure-friendly such as our trail mixes, granolas, popcorn, dried fruit, nuts and seeds.”
