Eating Granola For Good

How would you like to come home to a jar of granola sitting on your doorstep, just waiting to be gobbled up? Because that is exactly how good it is.Holiday GGG

“So good we give it all away!” is the Greater Good Granola business motto, coined by Mandy Levenberg, a consumer insights expert. Levenberg has spent her career “advising companies and nonprofits about how to do good while doing good business.”

In fact, Levenberg has two goals for her business: making delicious granola and donating 100% of the profits back to the community.

And guess which nonprofit is the lucky recipient of all proceeds from granola purchases until December 31, 2014? FamilyWorks is slated to receive approximately $2000 so far from Greater Good Granola!

Levenberg explains, “Our granola is small batch, handcrafted, and custom-baked each time. We only use the highest-quality ingredients, choosing organic whenever possible. There are lots of special additions that make this granola so tasty — like pepitas [pumpkin seeds], unsweetened coconut ribbons, house-made vanilla salt, dried cherries, and real Vermont maple syrup!” Other ingredients include all-natural oats, pecans, sunflower seeds, organic olive oil, and homemade organic vanilla salt.

There’s even a Community Supported Granola program where you can get a monthly subscription of either a one pound bag ($14) or a two pound jar ($25). And these are all picked up each month at Levenberg’s porch. How sweet is that?

So not only does this granola taste good, YOU can feel good knowing that your purchase supports nonprofits working on hunger, homelessness, and food equity issues.
