NOMAD Mix  

We couldn’t help but fall in love with the creative and delectable flavors that make up Nomad Trail Mix. Founded by Aixesha Christian, Nomad Trail Mix is an independent, bi-racial one-woman-owned business. In each bag of Nomad Trail Mix, you are guaranteed at least one type of seed, nut, fruit and vegetable to make up beautifully handcrafted clusters of wild flavors to enjoy. In alignment with Aixesha’s love of the outdoors, Nomad gives a percentage of profits to partner organizations that focus on the protection, rejuvenation and integrity of precious communities and environments.
