What is MayaNut™?

We’re finalizing packaging and inventory now and will share launch updates soon.

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 on Alicastrum (Brosimum alicastrum) and the production of MayaNut™ in Florida.
