Our Story
From Backyard Trees to Exceptional Treats
What started as a fascination with black walnuts, foraging, and New England's hidden food traditions grew into Bruncle Ben's Bounty.
Founder Ben Chaprut discovered that some of the region's most unique flavors are growing unnoticed in neighborhoods, forests, and farms throughout New England.
Today, those ingredients are transformed into handcrafted foods that reconnect people with the taste of place.
Why Black Walnuts?
Unlike common grocery-store walnuts, black walnuts offer a bold, earthy, aromatic flavor that has been treasured for generations.
We carefully source and process local black walnuts to create products that are difficult to find anywhere else.
