Big Spoon Roasters, operating out of Hillsborough, NC is on a mission to raise the bar for ingredient integrity, flavor, and freshness in the nut butter industry. Founded by Mark Overbay and his wife Megan in 2011, the company is named after Mark’s dad Gary, who long ago earned the nickname “Big Spoon” for his love of eating big spoons of peanut butter straight from the jar.While they’ve grown from their first farmers market booth in Carrboro to distribution in every state, Big Spoon remains true to its founding values of sustainability and quality. They partner with producers who prioritize environmental stewardship, including local peanut producers; Bee-Friendly almond growers in California; regenerative ginger farmers in Fiji; and third-generation sorghum farmers in Tennessee. These coarse-ground nut butters are unmatched by any other company in the industry, both for their flavor and quality!
