In a world where breakfast often becomes a rushed routine, Georgian Bay Granola Co. invites us to slow down and savour the moment. The brand story is an inspirational journey from a family kitchen to becoming a Canadian favourite. In the early 1970s, Sheila began crafting granola in her Parry Sound, Ontario kitchen, aiming to provide her family with a healthier alternative to store-bought options. Her commitment to wholesome ingredients and delicious taste quickly garnered attention. By July 2012, Sheila introduced her granola at the Parry Sound Summer Market, offering two flavours: Sugar Bush Maple and Hippy Dippy (now Wildflower Honeybee Crunch). What started as homemade batches soon became a beloved brand with Sheila’s daughters, Hannah and Leah, joining the venture to continue the legacy of wholesome, organic goodness.
From Family Kitchen to Canadian Tables
Georgian Bay Granola Co. remains deeply rooted in its origins. Their granolas are oven-baked in small batches, ensuring each spoonful delivers the perfect crunch. Using organic, gluten-free, and kosher ingredients, they sweeten their blends gently with organic Canadian maple syrup, honey, or coconut nectar, eschewing refined sugars for natural alternatives.
Flavours Inspired by Nature
The company offers a variety of granola blends that pay homage to Canadian landscapes and flavours:
- Apple Blueberry Crisp: A delightful mix of tart apples and sweet blueberries.
Coconut Mango Bliss: Tropical notes that transport you to sunny shores. - Sugar Bush Maple: A tribute to Canada’s iconic maple syrup.
- Wildflower Honeybee Crunch: A harmonious blend of honey and crunchy clusters.
Overnight Oats with Super Seeds: A hearty option packed with nutrition for those on the go.
Each product is crafted to not only taste great but also to provide a wholesome start to your day.
