JEM Organics

JEM Organics is a small-batch organic nut butter company based in Bend, Oregon, co-founded by Jen Moore (CEO) and Jim Bednark. The company pioneered sprouted, stone-ground nut butters made with an ancient artisan technique typically reserved for craft chocolate makers. Each batch is sprouted to enhance nutrient bioavailability and digestibility, then ground at low speed for hours through granite stones to achieve JEM's signature silky-smooth texture and intense flavor.

JEM has won multiple Good Food Awards for their innovative formulations that blend organic cashews, almonds, hazelnuts, pecans, and pistachios with carefully sourced superfoods and superfruits—resulting in unique flavors like Cinnamon Maca, Chocolate Hazelnut, and Cashew Cardamom. The company maintains strict ingredient standards: 100% USDA certified organic, no palm oil, no soy, no additives, and no fillers. JEM operates as a truly independent, artisan-focused business with founders actively overseeing production in their Bend facility.
