Once Again Nut Butter, an organic and natural nut butter manufacturer and nut ingredient supplier for 40 years, has announced the launch of its newly expanded peanut facility. On June 2, Once Again cut the ribbon on the facility in Nunda, NY. The employee-owned company located in the small rural community of Nunda (population of 800 people) in Upstate New York has a new, state-of-the-art, 37,000-square-foot manufacturing plant. The $13 million project will result in the creation of 15 new jobs and the retention of 67 employees, the majority of who work and live right in Nunda.

The Livingston County Industrial Development Agency (IDA) estimates the benefit to the state and region as a result of this project, through job creation and revenue on sales, income and property tax, is more than $4.6 million. The project represents the most economic growth in Nunda in at least 10 years.

“NYSERDA’s partnership with Empire State Development and the Livingston county Industrial Development Agency, ensures that the new manufacturing facility at Once Again Nut Butter will be able to reduce its energy use and costs,” said New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA): President & CEO John B.
