Michele’s Granola established the Give One Fund in 2022 to make annual grants to organizations working to improve access to fresh, healthy foods. We’ve been giving in this space for over a decade, and one thing has become undeniably clear: Poverty and food insecurity disproportionately impact BIPOC families and communities. As such, we endeavor to support locally-led organizations that meaningfully include BIPOC voices and leadership to cultivate sustainable solutions of self-sufficiency, or as Soul Fire Farm refers to it, “seeding sovereignty.” Soul Fire Farm is an incredibly impressive organization and one of our 2022 Give One grantees. Founded in 2010,...

We knew we had a remarkably special recipe on our hands as a chocolatey aroma filled every inch of our kitchen as we baked a few batches of Limited Edition Chocolate Lovers' Granola to celebrate Valentine's Day. But your reaction surprised us! We nearly sold out upon the online launch, leading us to scramble to bake more for you, placing rush orders for organic fair-trade cocoa and special packaging.

Mike and Karen live and work in the Orange Mound neighborhood of Memphis, TN—an area impacted by lack of access to fresh, healthy foods. Karen is a nutritionist, certified food processor and avid fruit and vegetable consumer, who worked as an educator...

Everyone deserves good food. That's why Michele founded the Give One for Good Food® fund, through which we donate 1% of sales to the important cause of equitable access to nutritious food. It's also why we've partnered with Whole Foods Market’s Whole Cities Foundation! The Whole Cities Foundation is a non-profit working to improve access to fresh food and nutrition education. From May 4 – 17, 2022, we will donate $0.40 for every bag purchased at all U.S. Whole Foods Markets to the Whole Cities Foundation--up to $15,000! That support will provide unrestricted funding for the organization to continue to champion locally led projects that transform community...
