OmMade Peanut Butter To Establish Manufacturing Facility In Fairfax county

OmMade Peanut Butter, which is a home-based gourmet peanut butter maker, will establish production in a manufacturing facility in Fairfax County, with incentives from both the county and Virginia. Radhika Murari, a Reston, Virginia, resident, began producing her artisan peanut butter products, using Virginia peanuts, in her home in 2012, and then eventually selling products at the Fairfax County Farmers Market. According to the wtop.com, “OmMade Peanut Butter is among startup companies enrolled in the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ Virginia’s Finest Trademark Program, which supports specialty food companies, processors and agricultural producers and promotes their products with its blue-and-red checkmark trademark. Gov. Ralph Northam’s office announced the OmMade Peanut Butter expansion, which means the company will invest $300,000 in its manufacturing operation in Fairfax County. It will receive a $25,000 grant from the state and a matching grant from Fairfax County.” As per wtop.com, “OmMade Peanut Butter will also source 30,000 pounds of peanuts from Virginia farmers over the next three years. Virginia is one of the top-producing states for peanuts. Murari has not yet selected her manufacturing facility location but hopes to find a spot in Reston. She is looking for about 1,000 square feet, which will include a retail store and space for occasional pop-ups for other small, startup local businesses.”
