Our Story

The Saratoga Peanut Butter Company was started in 2005 in Saratoga Springs, a small kitchen in the heart of Historic Saratoga Springs, NY.  Jessica was a single mom living in a two family home downtown.  She converted the upstairs of her home into her first PB factory and starting serving the local businesses in town and shipping orders online.  She named her “Monkey Boy” blend after her two year old son, Abe, who was a always swinging from the rafters.   Her plan was to develop and design a product line of nut butters that would not only deliver a heart healthy punch, but would make the soul sing as well. Something that would be absolutely delicious, without losing the “nutritious” aspects.

Handful of Nuts....

The handful of nuts over at the Saratoga Peanut Butter Co. are confident we can bring a HUGE smile to your face despite all the peanut butter stuck to the roof of your mouth. Our peanut butters are made in small and controlled batches to ensure high quality and freshness in every jar.  It really is an all natural and delicious way to enjoy this wonderful staple while keeping it healthy. Feel free to learn more by visiting our nutritional page for more details.

Also, we manufacture every single jar from start to finish in our own facility now located right outside Schuylerville, NY.   Our factory is located right in the area where the historic Battles Of Saratoga were fought.

We are proud to offer our delicious small batch nut butters 20 years later!  We think that it is a great testimonial that we take our job seriously and care about the our products.  Not to mention, you will have the most incredible tasting peanut butter and “whatever” sandwiches in your neighborhood and there is always a spoon around!

We thank you for checking out our story and hope you will give us a try if you haven’t already!

Behind the Peanut Butter

Jessica and Son Owners of Saratoga Peanut Butter

Meet Jessica

My name is Jessica, and I am the owner of the Saratoga Peanut Butter Company. I am the mother of Abe (pictured with me), the original “Monkey Boy” hence the inspiration of my banana raisin peanut butter. So the common question…”How did you get into peanut butter..”

I attended SUNY Oneonta and graduated from SUNY Cortland with a degree in Physical Education(concentrating in Adult Fitness) and a minor in Nutrition/Dietetics. As a self proclaimed peanut butter freak, it was a main staple in my diet. I made peanut butter (among other creative creations) for my family and friends over the years (money was tight as a college student) and they loved it!

After having my son, I saw a few cool variations with peanut butter and decided I would like to try to expand the idea into a reality, In 2005 I started putting the peanut butter on the shelves of some local food stores and…..well, here we are! (BTW, that’s our dog, Major, finishing up that bottom of the jar PB with ease.)

My goal has been to make a delicious and nutritious product without sacrificing anything!!!  All of our nut butter blends are GLUTEN FREE and have no added sugars, preservatives, artificial additives, and anything else that you cannot pronounce. If you have tried it, we are guessing you like it because you are here…and if not, we hope you will give us a try! Peace, Prosperity, and of course, Peanut Butter!
