Our story
Hi, we’re Sarah & Tye.
We started Bare Nut Butter in 2016 for one simple reason: we love nut butter, and we wanted small businesses everywhere to have access to the good stuff. No fillers, no shortcuts, no mystery ingredients. Just nuts, roasted and ground fresh, in a pail big enough to keep your kitchen running.
Years later, we’re still family-run, and we still care about every customer like they’re our first. You’ll always hear from a real person who knows your order. And we still think the best nut butter has exactly one ingredient.
Bare Nut by the numbers
How we got here
Every company has an origin story. Ours is mostly about a stubborn refusal to add anything to nut butter.
2016
A simple idea
Two nut butter lovers notice that small businesses are stuck choosing between pricey jars and mystery-ingredient tubs. Sarah and Tye set out to offer something better: pure nut butter, in bulk, at a fair price.
The early days
First customers, first fans
Juice shops, bakeries and natural food makers start ordering 15 lb pails of almond and peanut butter. One juice shop that opened the same year still says our almond butter helped put them on the map.
Growing up
From two nuts to seven
Customers keep asking “do you make…?” So we add cashew, walnut, hazelnut, pistachio and pecan butter, all made the same way: just the nut.
Shipping smarter
Closer to you
Two distribution centers in Tennessee and Utah mean pails typically reach customers in 3–5 business days, and pallets ship straight from California.
Today
Still a family operation
Bare Nut supplies businesses from single-pail cafés to manufacturers ordering by the truckload. Sarah leads the day to day alongside Ty Cyphers, our Director of Operations and a friend of Sarah and Tye’s, and every customer still gets a personal reply from someone who cares about their business.
Seven nuts. One ingredient each.
What’s in our nut butter? Nuts.
That’s the whole list, plus a pinch of sea salt in our lightly salted versions. Here’s what we will never put in a pail:
Natural oil separation is normal. Give it a stir; it means nothing was added to stop it.
From the roaster to your kitchen
Step 1
Dry-roast
We start with nothing but nuts and dry-roast them to bring out their natural flavor. No oil, no coating.
Step 2
Grind small
We grind in small batches, often, so the pail you open is fresh, not something that sat in a warehouse for months.
Step 3
Pail it up
Food-safe 15 lb pails (and 40 lb for bigger orders) that cut down on packaging waste and fit right on a kitchen shelf.
Step 4
Ship it fast
Website orders ship within a business day and typically arrive in 3–5 business days. Pallets are ground to order and shipped by freight from California.
Why customers stick around
Customers raved about the almond butter on our acai bowls… Hands down one of the products in our shop that has helped put us on the map!
Not only am I so pleased with the product itself, but my experience in working with Sarah and Tye has been great!
Tye and Sarah have been so easy and accommodating, I won’t look any further for our bulk nut butter needs.
Come say hi
Whether you need one pail or a full pallet, you’ll be talking to the people who run the place. Quality, price and service: that’s the whole pitch.
