Tierra Farm is a certified-organic producer and distributor of nuts, dried fruits, and related snacks based in Valatie, New York. The company handles in-house production, dry roasting and flavoring nuts and seeds, blending trail mixes, grinding nut butters, coating nuts and fruits in chocolate, and roasting fair-trade coffee, all in small, handcrafted batches. Its facilities are peanut-free and gluten-free, with no added oils or refined sugars, and all products carry kosher certification. Its customer base consists mainly of cooperatives and independently owned grocery stores that value working with an employee-owned, environmentally conscious supplier. Tierra Farm emphasizes direct sourcing, purchasing an increasing share of its ingredients directly from certified organic farms, including long-standing partnerships. The company places sustainability at the core of its operations, generating more than 70% of its electricity from solar panels and recycling a large portion of its waste, while using recycled or recyclable packaging. The business traces its origins to a Finger Lakes organic vegetable farm, with the nuts and dried fruit division starting in 1999 to stabilize income. In 2023, Tierra Farm expanded its reach through a partnership with Hummingbird Wholesale to bring eight varieties of its organic snacks to the West Coast.
