Quality You Can Count On

At Hickory Harvest, we believe that quality is everything. Safe, consistent and delicious products are the heart of our business – and yours. That’s why we've spent nearly half a century building a reputation for producing premium products made with only the finest ingredients and most stringent processes.


Sourcing and Pathogen Control

Hickory Harvest knows that great-tasting snacks start with the very best ingredients. We source only the finest fruits, nuts and seeds, many from our favorite suppliers right here in the U.S. We also have trusted partners in India, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Turkey and throughout the globe.

Hickory Harvest monitors all of our suppliers closely and works only with approved partners who know our product specifications and meet our food safety requirements.

Food Safety Protocols

Food safety is our business. We process six of the big eight food allergens, and we are dedicated to meticulous cross-contact control that includes:

  • Single-item tracking with allergen flagging
  • Color-coding system for equipment and employee uniforms
  • Regimented procedures for item changeovers
  • Instant verification testing on equipment after cleaning

In addition to allergen protocol, Hickory Harvest maintains strict cross-contamination control for pathogen prevention. This includes:

  • A meticulous sanitation process completed by highly trained team members
  • Equipment breakdown for every cleaning
  • An environmental monitoring program
  • Foreign material control (metal detection)
  • Good manufacturing procedures (GMP) and personal hygiene requirements for all employees and visitors
