How it started;
In 2019, I developed a granola recipe that was featured inside The Veg Out Project Recipe Series. It was nutrient dense, seriously delicious, my kids devoured it, and everyone who tried it loved it.
When the pandemic hit in 2020, my service based business took it a big hit and it was time to pivot. The Original granola continued to come to mind, as it was the perfect, convenient done-for-you meal or snack food as we all navigated life with so much more on our plates. This was my pivot!
So, I got to work with ingredient sourcing, choosing organic gluten free rolled oats, pure PA maple syrup, organic unrefined, cold pressed coconut oil + a variety of raw nuts & seeds. We started toasting organic thick cut coconut chips, and is was, well... the Best Ever.
We kept the recipe gluten free + vegan, sweeten every batch with just pure PA maple syrup, and in those first few weeks, produced over 225 pounds of plant fuel out of a tiny 3 rack oven.
We quickly grew into a commercial kitchen space, and in our first year, expanded our products into dozens of markets and cafes regionally, hired a production team, and were recognized by the Good Food Awards for ingredient sourcing, sustainability standards and epic taste.
Today, our products can be found with over 100 retail partners in 10 states. Find one near you!
It’s been a wild whirlwind full of growing pains & gratitude.
