Jamie's Farm Recap: A Cheers to 2024!
As 2024 comes to a close, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on an amazing year of growth. Here’s a look back at some of the highlights that made this year so special for Jamie’s Farm and our crunchy community!
🏆 Accolades That Made Us Smile
This year, Jamie’s Farm Granola gained some serious recognition, and we couldn’t be prouder:
- Bon Appétit included us in their coveted list of Best Granola Brands!
- We snagged the sofi Gold Award from the Specialty Food Association, cementing our place as a leader in artisanal granola.
- DashMart named us in their The 7 Store-Bought Granolas We’re Eating by the Handful article—and yes, that’s how we hope you enjoy ours, too!
Thank you for cheering us on! These accolades wouldn’t be possible without your continued support and love for what we do.
💰 Grants to Fuel Our Growth
We were honored to receive two generous grants this year to help us take Jamie’s Farm to the next level:
- A $25,000 grant from Stacy’s Pita Chips, supporting women-led businesses and mentorship from Pepsico.
- A $10,000 grant from Papaya Reusable Towels, empowering sustainable and innovative brands.
These grants were so much more than just financial support, but offered us community and mentorship. It was also a testament to our mission and passion we put in every bag of granola!
🌿 Our Sustainability Impact
This year, we offset 24,678 lb of carbon dioxide (CO2) from our e-commerce shipments, thanks to your support! That’s similar to:
- 28,683 miles driven by an average gasoline vehicle
- Enough energy to charge 1.37 million smartphones
- Equal to planting and growing 185 tree seedlings for 10 years
- Comparable to protecting 13.4 acres of U.S. forest for one year
If you're interested in learning more or adding a carbon offset to your order, you can add it here! 100% of the funds are directly given to the Tri-State Forest 🌿
As you may or may not know, Jamie's Farm is Certified Plastic Neutral! That means that for every bag that we sell, we pay a portion of proceeds to fund ethical collection, sorting, and recovery of plastic waste from nature-bound sources — that means keeping it out of the environment and ensuring it reaches the best possible destination.
This year we funded 992 lbs of plastic recovery, which is equivalent to:
- 1,073,593 straws
- 22,545 bottles
- 81,983 shopping bags
We hope to continue expanding our partnership with rePurpose Global in 2025!
🛒 Expanding in Whole Foods
Big news: we’re growing! This year, we landed in more than 10 additional Whole Foods locations, including:
- NJ: Closter, Paramus, Millburn
- CT: Darien, Stamford, Fairfield, Milford
- NY: Huntington Station, Jericho, Commack, Westbury
- And here’s the exciting part: by January 2025, we’ll be available in all Whole Foods locations across NJ, NY, and CT! But we need your help! Spread the word and let your friends and family know they can grab a bag (or two) of their favorite flavors.
