We spread integrity
Founders
Company History: Once Again Nut Butter (OANB) was founded by Jeremy Thaler and Constance Potter, in 1976, as a worker cooperative. The Once Again Nut Butter name was created by Jeremy and Connie, who, "Once Again", created another worker co-op, and were "Once Again" creating a new endeavor. We were founded with the goal of providing the natural products industry with a tasty, healthy, and nutritious peanut butter. After more than thirty years, our focus remains the same, and we have earned the reputation as a manufacturer of one of the best tasting and most consistent nut butters in the industry.
In 1981, Once Again Nut Butter purchased and renovated a turn of the century industrial building first used for silk production.
We are one of the largest employers in a village of just over 1,300 people located in Nunda, New York, South of Rochester.
We were instrumental in developing the organic peanut growing standards in the United States. We were the first company in the nation to introduce Organic Valencia Peanut Butter, in 1989, and we subsidized the organic peanut crop for its first 5 years.
As Once Again Nut Butter has continued to grow over the years, we have significantly expanded our product line. In 1992, we purchased Dawes Hill Honey and have been engaged in honey farmer sustainability projects since the acquisition. We are very excited about the newest addition to our product line –Omega-3 Butters made with Organic Flax Seed Oil. The Omega-3 product line includes: Organic Peanut Butter, Organic Almond Butter and Natural Almond Butter.
Our full product line includes: Dawes Hill Honey, bulk nuts, organic and natural peanut butters, organic and natural almond butters, organic and natural cashew butters, organic and natural Tahini, and organic sunflower butter. Also, our popular Organic American Classic Peanut Butter is the first certified organic peanut butter that does not have any oil separation.
Products are available in sizes from 16 oz. jars to bulk drums. We also offer organic bulk peanuts, cashews, and almonds that are available either dry or oil roasted. And don’t forget the wildly popular tamari almonds! For your convenience we provide a wide variety of nuts in a handy 12 oz. re-sealable bag. Our raw and natural Dawes Hill Honey is available in 1 lb. containers, in choices of clover, wildflower and honeycreme.
