About
At Kettle & Fire, our heart beats to the rhythm of a simple yet profound mission: to bring the incredible, healing benefits of bone broth to the world. We are more than just a food company; we are a catalyst for a healthier future, one that nourishes both people and the planet. Our journey began with a personal quest for wellness. Co-founders and brothers, Justin and Nick Mares, were seeking better options for their own health journeys – Justin for workout fuel and Nick for recovery. This led them to the time-honored tradition of bone broth, a superfood packed with collagen, protein, and essential nutrients. However, they quickly discovered a gap in the market for a convenient, high-quality, and shelf-stable bone broth made from the best ingredients. This realization sparked the creation of Kettle & Fire. Our culture is deeply rooted in the belief that food should heal, not harm. This principle guides every decision we make, from our meticulous sourcing standards to our slow-simmering cooking process. We are committed to using only 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef bones and pasture-raised, organic chicken bones from humanely raised animals, free from antibiotics and hormones. We combine these with organic vegetables, herbs, and spices, slow-simmering for 20+ hours to extract every bit of goodness. This dedication to quality is not just about creating a superior product; it's about fostering a better food system. We are passionate about regenerative agriculture and are actively working to support farming practices that restore and enrich our environment. Our team is a collective of passionate individuals who share this vision. We foster a supportive and creative environment where everyone is empowered to contribute to our mission of making the world a healthier place, one cup of bone broth at a time.
