In our words
Our story
Utopia Foods started with a love of sharing great food with the people we care about. We're a couple of foodies with decades of combined experience in the natural food industry, and we wanted to make the kind of food we love to put on the table: simple, delicious and made from California ingredients.
Everything is made in our Nevada City kitchen. Our hummus starts with California-grown chickpeas, soaked overnight and cooked from scratch, then blended with California tahini and San Francisco Salt Co. salt. Our herbs and red peppers come from right here in Nevada County, our olives are cold-cured and California-grown, and our party nuts are California grown and roasted in small batches.
Right now you'll find hummus, olives, party nuts and seasonal bean dips, flavors you won't find at the grocery store. More is on the way.
Rooted here
We'd rather grow deep roots than grow everywhere. That's why we source from California farms, work with local small businesses and keep our food miles low. Sustainability is part of every decision we make, because strong local food systems matter.
What we stand for
Every recipe is plant-based, rooted in kindness and compassion. We personally vet every ingredient and source locally whenever we can. We're registered organic with the state of California and working toward our organic certification.
Our jars are glass and made to be reused. Bring your clean, empty jars and lids to the farmers market or Saturday pickup, and we'll sanitize them and put them back to work.
Made to share.
Set out for parties, piled onto charcuterie boards, or scooped up as an everyday snack. Our dips and olives are at their best in the middle of the table.
