About Bear Naked
Bear Naked makes whole grain granola and snacks in the United States using non-GMO ingredients, building on the natural foods tradition established by its Connecticut founders who built the brand from a home kitchen into the country's leading natural granola brand.
Heritage & History
Brendan Synnott and Kelly Flatley founded Bear Naked in 2002 in Norwalk, Connecticut, making granola in Kelly's family kitchen from whole grain oats, nuts, and natural sweeteners. The founders sold the granola at local farmers markets and natural food stores, building a following among consumers who wanted granola made with real ingredients rather than the commodity products filling supermarket shelves.
The company grew rapidly through the 2000s as natural and organic food became mainstream consumer interests. Kellogg's acquired Bear Naked in 2007, but the brand maintained its commitment to non-GMO ingredients and whole grain formulations. Bear Naked granola remains manufactured in the United States and sold in natural food stores, grocery chains, and online.
