Where's my favorite Michele's Granola?

We want to answer the #1 question we’ve been hearing: Where is my favorite Michele’s Granola?!

The good news (fantastic news!) is that oat aficionados across the country are discovering our handmade granola, muesli and granola butter, and a slew of retailers are bringing our goods to their shelves. We anticipated an increase in sales for the end of 2023, and planned accordingly.

What we didn’t anticipate was an absolutely unprecedented spike in demand from retailers and customers. Unprecedented!

When demand increases, we can’t just speed up the machines and rev up the conveyor belts: Real people make every batch of Michele's Granola from scratch daily in our kitchen.

We are happy to report we have a long-term solution, and we're baking and restocking many of the favorites you expect on our website! But in the short-term we had to answer a difficult question: How can our small business get the most granola to the most people? That means prioritizing baking our most popular flavors and sizes, and distributing those fresh goods in channels where our granola would be available to the most people.

Our long-term solution

Here’s what we’re doing to increase our capacity:

1. We increased our oven capacity by 50%!
2. We moved to a printed bag! With our label printed directly on our bag, we spend less time affixing labels and more time filling those bags. More on that here.
3. We’re hiring! We’re offering good-paying jobs with benefits, from bakery production to packaging. Find the full list of opportunities here.

It’s not an overnight solution, but we’re already seeing tremendous results.
