Life’s stops along the way 

A person’s life can be associated to a subway train.

At each stop the doors open and the choice for a new journey awaits. Like a subway ride, a person’s life has many stops. It is up to each of us as individuals to decide when we want to jump off, even if it is a leap of faith.

As native New Yorkers, my husband and I have both taken many subway rides with many stops along the way. Our travels led us to meet in Club Med Martinique, vacation in the Bahamas, honeymoon in Jamaica and now live part time in the Dominican Republic. The Caribbean sand has always been between our toes.

While in the Dominican Republic we would constantly drive by a fruit pushcart. Never having tasted a mango we bought one which eventually lead to our leap of faith. 2017 was a new journey for our family. We decided to bring up the Dominican’s best dried mangoes to the States. We figured we shouldn’t be the only ones who get to enjoy this healthy snack alternative.

The learning curve began, names, logos, bags and box designs, exporting, importing and distributing. With good advice and guidance from business associates, friends and family our business was born.

You can taste the difference, our mangoes are handpicked, washed, peeled and dried by a group of women in the Dominican Republic. The secret ingredient that gives Nothing But Mango its unique, delicious flavor is the pride and love that these women put into every package. They have mastered a drying technique that captures all the natural sweetness our mangoes have to offer, something you will experience with every bite of our product.

Now, thanks to our younger family members, Nothing But Mango has a social presence that is taking our small family run company to the next level. Nothing But Brands currently offers dried mangoes. This year we will be another exciting one as we plan to offer dried Bananas, Pineapple and a combo package.
