It’s that time of the year again. When the shells start to split, it’s almost time to pick, or shake in our case! If you take a stroll down the lanes of an almond orchard right about now, the nuts are speaking to us. A tell-tale sign that harvest is growing near is when the […]
Healthy, yet satisfying… One of the things we are constantly striving for at Maisie Janes is choosing and creating healthy food options and combos that are equally delicious. We love experimenting with flavors, like our dark chocolate chipotle almonds that have the perfect amount of kick, or our curry spiced cashews that have such a […]
As you may have noticed driving around Chico or the surrounding areas, everything is a’bloom! It’s our favorite time of year. Almond blossoms come from the deciduous tree in the rose family known as Prunus dulcis. They are relatives of the apricot, cherry, peach and plum families. Our trees will keep producing blossoms until about mid-end […]

They’re cute and entertaining, but they don’t clean up after themselves, and my potted deck garden is where they like to live it up.

Family farms are so important! In fact, according to the National Institute of Food and Agriculture of the USDA, more than 90% of farms in the U.S. are classified as small family farms. That’s a lot of family love grown into our food supply. But due to factors that include climate change, giant agribusiness and […]
I love organic almond butter because I care about the environment and I care about my family’s health. At Maisie Jane’s we have a strong philosophy regarding sustainable agriculture. That means we farm without depleting the earth’s resources or polluting the environment. But we also deeply care about family—we’re family farmers, after all— and our […]
