Behind the Brand

Climate Candy was founded by 7-time Ironman, climate activist, and health and wellness enthusiast Amy Keller, whose family owns the Spangler Candy Company and makes two billion DumDum lollipops every year. Born from Amy's sweet tooth and a deep desire to save nutritional fruits and veggies, Climate Candy was conceived on a trip to the Global Seed Vault in Svalbard, Norway, where Amy's conversations about the planet's climate pledge and protecting global food security merged with her cravings for a sweet but healthy treat. She set out to combine her passion for sustainability and health with the family business by creating a candy that educates society about the intersectionality of human health, food justice, and climate change. Amy focused her efforts on fighting the climate crisis by preventing food waste through the process of upcycling unused yet perfectly acceptable fruits and vegetables. Today, Climate Candy works with and supports local farms across the US to procure imperfect produce that would otherwise go to waste, striving to make both healthy choices and climate action impact more accessible. Each bag of Climate Candy offers a full serving of fruits and vegetables — including pumpkin, squash, sweet potato, carrots, and beets. And the best part: all you can taste is a sweet fruity treat. This is stealth nutrition at its finest. 

Meet the Maker

What has been your most unforgettable moment (good or bad) while building your company? - +

The moment my co-founders (Kevin Wall and Dr. Sue Smalley) and I were in Svalbard, Norway visiting the Global Seed Bank to learn about food security. I was reading Paul Hawken's book "Drawdown" and learned that roughly a third of the world’s food is never eaten. This means land, natural resources, and greenhouse gasses used during the production process were going to waste. Interventions can reduce loss and waste, as food moves from farm to fork, thereby reducing overall demand. While cross country skiing across the Arctic, I built the company business plan around illuminating the power of food to restore the well-being of people and the planet.

What is an essential part of your daily routine? - +

Running 8-10 miles in the morning and reading and listening to my husband play the guitar while watching the sunset every evening.

What is your biggest pet peeve? - +

Food is the number one cause of poor health. Our world is overfed but undernourished, calorie rich but nutrient poor. Nearly 870 million people in the world are undernourished and 9 out of 10 people don't eat enough fruits and vegetables.

What is one thing most people don’t know about you? - +

I come from sugar. My family owns a candy factory, Spangler Candy Company. We sell 2B DumDums every year along with many other nostalgic candies like NECCO, Sweethearts, Safety Pops, Circus Peanuts.

What do you want to be remembered for? - +

Through climate candy and the opportunity to bring people new insights, transformational experiences and unique opportunities to positively impact the world. Climate Candy inspires others to take action and to be eager to leverage their networks to make real change. On top of that, they will adopt the tools to inspire those in their local communities to take climate action now.
