Nomad Trading Co. was founded in Summer 2016 by college friends Max Keilson and Jon Epstein to change how people treat drinks and snacks.

“We believe that you are what you eat. We wanted to consume things that were healthy, but that also are sourced to the highest ethical standards, and with a pointed focus on sustainability.”
