How It All Started…

In 1923, Herbert “Buba” Humphreys, standing alongside his father Harry Humphreys, founded Kennesaw Fruit Company, harvesting oranges, pineapples, watermelons, and other crops. In 2025, Buba’s great-grandson, August Kokus, founded The MayaNut Company, focused exclusively on cultivating the Alicastrum tree (Brosimum alicastrum) for the production of MayaNut™ flour—continuing his family’s Florida farming legacy.
