Their nutty snack bars were available years ago at my local Wholefoods and Sprouts, then disappeared and now finally came back! Packaging looks different, flavors a little changed up, but still the fresh crunchiness to them and a taste I enjoy!
Are these delicious? Yes. Are they expensive for what they are? Also yes. I’ve tried the basic nut bars and fruit bars from South Forty before, but they weren’t interesting enough for me to continue to buy them given the price. I recently tried their new bars that have some more unique flavors, specifically the Vanilla Almond Latte and the Pecan Pepper Berry nut bars ($2.99 at my local Whole Foods - but I got them on sale). See photo for texture of the Pecan Pepper Berry - they’re crunchy. These new bars honestly taste really good. But if you’re cost-conscious and just need a quick bar to eat on-the-go, then you can easily find a cheaper bar. If you’re prioritizing fiber or protein or macros, then these aren’t it. I could see how someone who cares about (for lack of a better phrase) “less processed” ingredients would pick these first, though. Also, beware these specific bars (because of the dried fruit) if you don’t like when food sticks to your molars.
I've only tried the pistachio bar from this brand, and it's so amazing. I love that most of the bar is made up of pistachios, so it tastes like I'm eating the nut except in a way more convenient form. If you love pistachios like I do, you have to try it.

I love cashews, and the cashew bar I had from South Forty Snacks tasted just fine, but the price is astronomical for something that is at its core sugar, honey and nuts. The ingredients are very basic, so $2.50 per bar (price charged at Sprouts in San Diego) seems exorbitant for what is essentially 65% nuts (per the wrapper) with glucose syrup, sugar, and honey. And since it's sourced from Greece (as the wrapper says), I can't see how these bars are good for the environment since they (or at least their key ingredient) have to be shipped halfway around the world when there are likely local sources available. If I were to rate this on taste alone it would be four stars, but the cost and environmental impact make alternatives—including homemade—a better option.
