We have shut down Hurt Ridge Candy
Hurt Ridge Candy is shutting down (but our candy is still available for a while).
It’s been a heck of a ride building this brand and slinging sweets these past few years. We’ve had the privilege of meeting thousands of customers, producing tens of thousands of packages of freeze-dried candy, and partnering with over 50 retail locations throughout the state.
As much as we loved building this brand, there’s no denying market conditions (higher costs, increased competition from Mars and Hershey’s with their own freeze-dried lineup, and general tightening of consumer spending on “luxuries”). When we separate emotion from the equation, the math just couldn’t math out for us, so we’re winding things down.
You’ll still be able to get our candy as our distributor, Bison Country, has acquired our full inventory, keeping our retail partners supplied throughout 2026.
And rest assured, we aren’t disappearing, ourselves; we are returning focus to our passion for storytelling as we write our 9th novel after leaving our readers waiting for far too long.
We invite you to follow our adventure at Frank and RaeLea Hurt, Authors
THANK YOU for enjoying our candy. It’s been a true joy.
