Interview with Brandon Hiemstra & David Sweidan, Founders of House of Macadamias.

LCG Foods sat down with Founders of House of Macadamias, Brandon Hiemstra & David Sweidan, and asked them some questions to better understand the brand's mission, core values, and other topics that we thought our retail partners might want to know.

 

What motivated you to start your company and create the products that we see today? 

House of Macadamias has its roots in South Africa, the macadamia growing capital of the world where both our founders grew up. Elsewhere, macadamias have been known as the rarest and most expensive nut. Founder Brandon, inspired by his grandfather's macadamia trees, sought to change that and make this exceptionally healthy and luxurious tasting nut accessible to all.

 

What are your company’s core values?

We've partnered with 96 farmers, who own a stake in the brand, allowing us to provide the highest quality macadamias at the best value and meaning every product sold directly supports their farming communities.

 

Our farms implement innovative ways of conserving the environment, something truly important to us. The South African rainfall naturally irrigates the macadamia trees and bees thrive in the orchards, while our factories run off solar panels and biofuel - a project using macadamia shells for power!

 

With our product range, we strive to make it more convenient for people to transform and maintain their health, without compromising on the joy of tasty food.

 

If you could tell a retailer three things about what makes your brand different, what would they be?

  1. Macadamias are always our first ingredient. Most bars and butter labeled ‘macadamia’ use cheaper filler nuts, with a small percentage of macadamias actually included.
  2. Keto, vegan and paleo product range, with a commitment to clean, locally sourced ingredients and no added sugar.
  3. Macadamias are the only nut rich in rare omega 7s, have arguably the healthiest fat profile of all nuts and contain half the carbs cashews do. Their unique health benefits ensure our products complement any healthy diet and support weight management, heart health and longevity.
