Sunshine Nut
Sunshine Nut Company was founded on the belief that a food company can be the catalyst for lasting economic transformation in some of the poorest countries in the world.
Sunshine Nut Company operates on the Sunshine Approach business model developed by our founder, Don Larson. Our approach is focused on creating a value driven business – where dignity, love, and community come together with excellence.
Since our start in 2011, we have planted roots in Matola, Mozambique where we operate a world-class cashew factory.
We employ 50 people throughout our operations, hiring primarily adult orphans and promoting from within. We then take 90% of our distributed profits and reinvest it into the community: 30% to orphan care, 30% to farmer community upliftment, and 30% to grow the concept by building more transformative food factories.
