We made a change to make a difference

In 2010 we sold our house, packed up our bags from Cambridge, Massachusetts and moved with our 3 and 5 year-old to start a new adventure overseas. As much as we loved our community and corporate careers, we felt a desire and calling to do something bigger than ourselves by using our business skills to bless others. We landed in Phnom Penh and our lives have never been the same. 

Unable to find delicious, all natural nut butters in Phnom Penh, we started making our own at home. In 2016 we discovered one of Cambodia’s great secrets - delicious cashews harvested in Kompong Thom province in the country's north east. We began learning about cashew production and discovered that a lack of production facilities resulted in low margins for cashew farmers and no opportunity to brand some of their country’s finest natural resources.

Joyfully Nutty is Cambodia’s first all natural nut butter company. Founded in March 2017, we make handcrafted all natural nut butters that are fresh, delicious and nutritious. We are committed to working with local cashew farmers in an effort to support their families and expand global demand for Cambodian cashews. Where possible, we strive to partner with local producers to source natural ingredients that mitigate our environmental impact such as virgin coconut oil and sea salt. We also aim to support the businesses of local entrepreneurs by directly purchasing their supplies (e.g., our recyclable glass jars) and using their services. Our mission is to be good stewards of everything that the Creator has formed and bring joy to those around us.

Joyfully Yours,
