Big Spoon Roasters is a small-batch food company handcrafting innovative, wholesome nut butters and bars with thoughtfully sourced ingredients in Hillsborough, North Carolina. Operating since 2011, Big Spoon Roasters is proudly independently owned and operated. They make every batch to order and have set a category standard for ethical sourcing as the only nut butter brand with a fully transparent supply chain while staying true to the company’s founding mission: to craft simple, delicious food with great ingredients that are good for people and good for the planet.
Big Spoon Roasters was founded by husband-and-wife team Mark and Megan Overbay. The duo shared a love for nut butter: Mark, having spent time as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Zimbabwe, originally learned how to hand-make his favorite food, peanut butter, while living abroad, and Megan’s experience as an endurance athlete led her to craft her own nutrient-dense nut butter bars that both tasted good and fueled her training. Together, Mark and Megan shared a deep appreciation for how food connects us to each other, to past and present cultures, and to the land itself. They founded Big Spoon Roasters on the simple belief that food can be both delicious and a force for good.
