Our Purpose

Our journey to Nibble & Thrive developed over decades with thoughtful choices and discovering nourishing, flavorful foods to share. For many years, our co-founder Andre made specialties that weren't available elsewhere; after regularly receiving great feedback, he decided to share them more widely through this company.

Our purpose is pure and simple: to nourish your body, mind, and the planet. We believe good food should be a source of joy, vitality, and connection to the earth and each other.

We're committed to sourcing the freshest, highest-quality ingredients for our specialties, and we take sustainability very seriously, from the farm to our packaging to your doorstep. Curating the best complementary foods from other values-aligned producers and makers helps our customers conveniently discover exceptional products that we appreciate ourselves.

You can rely on our exceptionally flavorful, nutrient-rich specialties being grown, processed, and packaged with respect for our bodies and environments. With every nibble, you're making a healthy choice for you, the planet and a thriving future.

Company Values

Our commitments extend beyond offering the best products that tastily nourish and encourage healthy lifestyles. We also value:

  • Hard and smart work
    • We work hard physically and cognitively to conveniently offer outstanding products at a great value. We accept modest living wages and keep our profit margins to a minimum—just enough to support a sustainable business, small commercial kitchen, and moderate growth potential that will never sacrifice quality for profit.
    • If our overall profits exceed a modest living wage, we will lower prices for our customers to maintain a fair balance. We deeply respect your hard work and choice to support our business.
  • Community and environment
    • If we have the good fortune to grow enough to support employees, Nibble & Thrive will be an employee-owned company with all employees earning an equal living wage and share of profits. All employees will share in the decision-making process to ensure we do what's best for our customers, communities, and the planet.
    • Conveniently offering fresh foods requires some packaging (for now), but we very deliberately chose 100% compostable options that are bio-based, circular, and Earth-nourishing in ways that alternatives have yet to be.
  • Transparency: we are transparent about our ingredients, business practices, and pricing/shipping/discounts. We endeavor to earn your trust and loyalty through uncompromising quality of our gourmet specialties and helping you discover the best nuts, craft chocolate, and complementary ingredients from values-aligned companies.
