A Fruitful Partnership

Since 2010, ORCHARD At The OFFICE has been delivering fresh fruit to businesses throughout North Texas. Our mission is to assist in the health and happiness of our community, one bite at a time. There’s always been a special affinity for runners in our organization. Because Marketing Wiseapple Chris Buchanan’s wife, Chauncey, is a certified personal trainer who has completed several marathons and ultra-marathons, and Chief Banana Kevin Long’s wife, Amy, races regularly and has completed several marathons herself, we jumped at the opportunity to provide bananas.

Year-Round Racing

The Dallas Running Club is the largest all-volunteer running club in America. The DRC hosts eight races a year and sponsors the “DRC Half” – an annual 5K and half marathon. Runners come from all over to compete in these races, and after all those miles, they need lots of replenishment. So, that’s where ORCHARD At The OFFICE comes in. For instance, the February “Love the Loop” 5K/15K required 320 pounds of potassium for over 900 runners!

DRC Volunteers set out bananas for hungry runners at the February 2016 "Love the Loop 5K/15K" at White Rock Lake.
