The Beginning
Nuts About Granola was conceived through a mother and daughter who shared a passion for cooking together. Gayle and Sarah’s love for the kitchen and a deep understanding of the importance of nutrition developed a treat to help them refuel during various athletic events. This snack, granola, was made fresh, using local ingredients from the Pennsylvania farm belt. As both a student at Elizabethtown College and captain of the school’s triathlon team, Sarah decided to package and sell their granola on campus as a team fundraiser. 
Sarah’s entrepreneurial spirit combined with the tremendous success of the “Original Trio” flavors (Plain Jane, Lovers Combo, and College Staple) during this fundraiser led Gayle and Sarah to begin taking steps toward building a legitimate business. Nuts About Granola, llc. was incorporated in the Spring of 2008 and built on the foundation of providing the freshest products from local resources to consumers.
Today
Nuts About Granola remains a small mother/daughter owned granola company dedicated to providing the freshest, wholesome granola served straight from the oven of our home in York, Pa. All of our granolas are still produced in small batches and mixed by hand to ensure quality. Currently, the Nuts About Granola product line is largely sold in farmers markets in the South-Central PA region and online. In addition to being granola fanatics, we’ve become huge supporters of the Buy Fresh, Buy Local movement to help achieve the ultimate in freshness. All of our products contain only all natural, local ingredients and have earned the “PA Preferred” seal by from Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.
The Future
Our expansion plans focus on placing our products in more Central PA farmer’s markets as we continue to raise awareness of buying local through the support of organizations such as Buy Fresh, Buy Local and SSBN. While we are hoping to continue to grow our company as any good business would, we promise to uphold our core values of providing fresh granola, using local ingredients, with a level of customer service and personable appeal no other granola can provide.
