The Fisher brand of nuts was born in the country's heartland. It all started with Sam Fisher, who developed a line of salted in-shell peanuts in St. Paul, MN back in 1920. The brand quickly became a consumer favorite and was sold in ball parks throughout the United States.

It was from these humble beginnings that John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. (JBSS), owner of Fisher® Nuts, grew to become a premier processor, marketer and distributor of baking nuts, snack nuts and nut-based products.
