Chinook Seedery

Chinook Seedery is a producer of flavored sunflower seeds intended to provide nutritious snack options. The company was founded in 2012 by Mark Pettyjohn, an avid sunflower seed consumer who was looking for a healthier, better-tasting alternative to existing brands. Dissatisfied with the overly salty and artificially flavored seeds on the market, Pettyjohn began experimenting in his own kitchen with different spices and roasting techniques to create his ideal sunflower seed.

The company roasts its non-GMO verified seeds in small batches to maintain quality and offers a range of unique flavors, including Jalapeño Ranch, Parmesan & Pepper, and Cinnamon Toast, among others. The products are gluten-free, contain no MSG, and are designed to have long-lasting flavor without being excessively salty. Chinook Seedery's business model is based on selling its products both online and through retail stores. The company targets consumers looking for healthier snack alternatives and has found a strong market within outdoor and sporting communities like archery and baseball. Originally founded in Greenwood Village, Colorado, the company is now based in Austin, Texas.
