It’s Our Mission

HEALTH, HAPPINESS and
JOY in EVERY JAR

18 Chestnuts crafts plant-based soups, with a focus on nutrition and flavor. Every jar of 18 Chestnuts soup delivers a rich multi-sensory experience of color, texture, taste and nourishment.


We know that nutrition can be confusing, and preparing healthy foods can be challenging.

Let 18 Chestnuts do it for you! With a deep understanding of food, health, and nutrition, we’ve carefully crafted delicious, plant-based soups to provide the nutrients our bodies need.

Every spoonful is a delicious and memorable experience of color, texture, and flavor, and you’ll leave mealtime comforted and nourished. All of our soups are plant-based, gluten-free, dairy-free, low-glycemic, and made with 100% natural and sustainably-sourced ingredients.

Based in Asheville, NC, 18 Chestnuts is a woman-owned, “local first” brand. We work with local farmers for many of our soup ingredients, keeping community and sustainability at the forefront. We also dedicate time to teaching children about the benefits of eating healthy food, and donate a portion of our profits to local charities.


OUR PROCESS

We offer our tasty, plant-based soup for one-time purchase or on a subscription basis, in either a 16 oz or 32 oz size. Soups are shelf-stable and are carefully packaged in glass jars, minimizing the negative impacts of plastic on your health and our earth.

Community and sustainability are at the forefront of our operations. We source ingredients locally whenever possible, compost leftover food waste, and donate a portion of our profits to charity.


GIVING BACK

At 18 Chestnuts, we want to nourish not only our customers, but our community as a whole. That’s why we’ve incorporated charity and community into our business model from day one.

We believe that children who understand and appreciate healthy, delicious food grow into adults who contribute to the health of their families and communities. To help make this vision a reality, we provide education to local children on cooking, nutrition and the benefits of healthy food.

We also donate a portion of our profits to a local charity. Soup brings people together, and together, we can work to make our community better for all.


OUR CURRENT CHARITY

The first charity we’re supporting is 12 Baskets, a program of the Asheville Poverty Initiative.

It took many gallons of soup to perfect each of our soup flavors. The batches that didn’t quite make the cut (but which were still healthy and delicious!) were donated to this organization. This is just one small way we can contribute to the effort to curb hunger in our community.

We encourage our customers to assist us in our philanthropic efforts by considering a directed donation to this wonderful organization.
