MEET THE MAKERS:
Better Off Spread is the brainchild of Jenny & Jonny, a couple from Brooklyn with a dream of channeling their crazy into a spreadable empire. Jenny got her start in the city over a decade ago (making peanut butter- NO JOKE) at a West Village cafe. After many (lame) years in the ad world, she’s getting back to her nut-grinding roots. Jonny worked at his family’s Italian food store on Long Island since he was a punk-ass teen, until moving to Brooklyn and becoming a barber. Their spreads are always made with the best ingredients they can find, and they don’t add any oils, fats, preservatives or sugars to them, just natural ingredients combined to make freaking awesome flavors. Better Off Spreads are hand made in Brooklyn, using organic, GMO-free nuts. Many of them are vegan and gluten-free and straight up good for you!

The Jam Stand isn’t just another artisan food company; it’s an experiment in positive engineering. Founded in an apartment kitchen in Williamsburg by two best friends -Jessica Quon and Sabrina Valle – The Jam Stand has become a staple in artisan groceries, specialty and gift stores in NYC and beyond! Using fresh fruit sourced from local farms, the products are based on a belief that packaged food doesn’t have to mean processed food. Check out some of their most iconic jam flavors: Not Just Peachy, Sriracha, Drunken Monkey & You’re My Boy BLUE-berry Bourbon.
