The idea for our recipe came about after Darren heard a radio program discussing the health benefits of walnuts, especially for men. Subsequently, about a week later, a different radio program discussing maple syrup's high antioxidant levels was heard and the idea was born! 

​

Tying the two healthy food items together became his mission. After testing out a few variations and witnessing the extremely positive reaction to the original recipe happen time and time again, we knew we had found a winning combination. Being able to share this gift with the world is what inspires us every day. The days have been filled with a lot of fun and hard work and we hope to offer even more in the way of new blends in 2019.

Once you taste our Handcrafted Maple Walnuts, Pecans and Cashews, you will see what all the fuss is about!

Since our beginning, we have striven to be a triple bottom line business, maintaining a commitment to ourselves, the local economy and the environment. We are proud to be an official member of FoodLab Detroit and actively participate in supporting the growth of Detroit food makers.

 

Our goal of donating a portion of our sales to local groups or causes we believe in took root in December 2016, with a donation to the Detroit-based Mercy Education Project and a donation Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to help our friends Monica and Lori achieve their goal of reaching the base camp of Mt. Everest. Our efforts have expanded to name our donations the Doing Good and Noble Causes Awards and we are happy to say that we have been able to expand our charitable donations to more organizations, with higher amounts. We are very excited about this! Please read more about the 2018 award winners here.
