Today, more than ever, people are thinking carefully about the food they eat—not just how it tastes, but how it’s grown, where it comes from, and the impact it has on the planet. At Maisie Jane’s, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between delicious and responsible. That’s why sustainable farming practices are at the heart of everything we do.
From our family-owned almond orchards in Northern California to the carefully selected ingredients in every jar and gift basket, we’re proud to be one of the sustainable food brands making a real difference. Every bite reflects our commitment to protecting pollinators, conserving resources, reducing waste, and supporting a food system that puts people and the planet first.
So when you enjoy a Maisie Jane’s snack, you’re not just indulging in something tasty—you’re taking part in a movement. A movement that supports clean ingredients, real food, and a future where farms like ours can thrive for generations to come.
Sustainable farming means growing food in a way that protects natural resources, supports biodiversity, and keeps the land healthy for future generations. At its core, sustainable farming means growing food in a way that supports people and the planet as defined by the USDA. At Maisie Jane’s, it’s more than a method—it’s a mindset rooted in care and responsibility.
Unlike conventional farming that may rely on synthetic chemicals and short-term gains, sustainable farming focuses on the long view:
And we’re proud to do it all right here in Northern California, where stewardship and community go hand-in-hand. For us, sustainable farming isn’t a trend—it’s the foundation of everything we grow and give.
At Maisie Jane’s, sustainability isn’t a marketing claim—it’s a daily practice that starts in the orchard and touches every part of our process, from growing to packaging. Our farming methods are built around one simple belief: what’s good for the earth is good for the people who live on it. That’s why we’ve spent decades refining how we care for our land, our crops, and our community.
Here’s how we put our commitment into action:
California’s water is precious, and we use it with care. Our probed drip irrigation system delivers moisture directly to the roots of our almond trees, minimizing waste, preventing runoff, and using up to 22% less water than traditional methods.
Healthy soil is the foundation of healthy food. We plant cover crops in our almond orchards to support soil biodiversity, prevent erosion, and naturally enrich the land. While we don’t currently practice crop rotation in our almond orchards, our use of organic fertilizers and sustainable orchard management practices ensures long-term soil vitality.
We couldn’t grow almonds without the help of bees, and we take our responsibility to them seriously. As part of our pollinator-friendly farming approach, as recommended by Xerces Society, we:
From hull to shell, we believe every part of the almond has value.
“Nothing is wasted, and everything has a purpose.”
— Maisie Jane
We follow the principles of organic almond farming across our operations. That means:
Our commitment to sustainability doesn’t stop at the farm. We use a custom in-house shredder to recycle our old corrugated boxes into eco-friendly packing material for gift baskets and product shipments. It’s part of our promise to cut down on waste and reduce our environmental footprint—right down to the last detail.
Every choice we make—from the water we conserve to the bees we protect—is designed to produce food that’s better for you and better for the earth. It’s all part of how we grow with integrity, give with heart, and farm for the future.
When you choose Maisie Jane’s, you’re not just buying a snack or a gift—you’re supporting a small, sustainable family farm that pours heart, history, and hard work into every product. In a world full of mass-produced food and faceless supply chains, we invite you to know exactly where your food comes from—and why that matters.
We’ve been growing almonds in Northern California for generations, using methods that respect the land and the people who depend on it. Our products aren’t made in a factory by machines—they’re hand-packed with care, using locally sourced ingredients from real farms with real stories behind them. Every gift basket, every jar of almond butter, every handful of seasoned nuts reflects that personal touch.
We’re proud to say our labels are clean, simple, and transparent. No mystery ingredients. No shortcuts. Just real food, grown and made by people who care deeply about what you feed your family.
When you choose Maisie Jane’s, you’re not only treating someone you love to something special—you’re also choosing to support local farmers who are working to keep food honest, sustainable, and rooted in community values.

Because around here, we believe in more than just good food.
We believe in “Know your farmer, know your food.”

At Maisie Jane’s, we believe that food grown with care simply tastes better. From the moment our almonds are harvested from the trees to the time they’re hand-packed into jars or baskets, we focus on one thing: quality you can taste and trust.

It creates vibrant, nutrient-rich almonds with a flavor and freshness that only comes from a thoughtfully tended family farm. These aren’t just snacks; they’re a reflection of our land, our values, and the love we put into every step.
