Fawkin Nuts

Marco Island-based Fawkin Nuts is run by husband and wife team Michael and Taylor Simon, who started the company to provide their four young children with healthy food options. 

“Kids are eating peanut butter constantly and when you look at products like Skippy and Jiff and all the stuff that’s in them, we’ve entirely cleaned that up,” Michael says. 

Fawkin Nuts sells peanut butter, cashew butter, and almond butter, all infused with collagen, guarana, ashwagandha, MCT oil, and raw honeyand also offers almond coconut butter and a classic peanut butter with just peanuts and a pinch of salt. 

The Simons created the recipes for all their products, which are manufactured at a nut facility in Clifton Park, New York, and shipped to Marco. 

When asked how they came up with the name, Michel joked, “There might have been a few drinks involved.”
