About Us

At Love Grown, we believe that cereals and granolas should be made with quality, nourishing ingredients that taste great and are good for you. That’s why we create our products with only the best organic, non-GMO whole grains, fruits, nuts and seeds, without any artificial flavors, synthetic additives or chemical preservatives.

Our Story

Love Grown was founded in 2012 by husband and wife team Matt and Maddie. As parents, they struggled to find truly healthy cereal options to feed their young daughters. The standard supermarket offerings were full of sugar and artificial ingredients that just didn’t align with their values.

So Maddie, a classically trained chef, set out to develop better-for-you granola and cereal recipes in her home kitchen. Her creations were an instant hit with the whole family. The flavors were incredible, the textures were crispy and crunchy, and the ingredients were things they could feel good about putting in their bodies.

With rave reviews from friends and neighbors, Matt and Maddie knew they were onto something special. They decided to start Love Grown to share their wholesome cereals and granolas with families everywhere.

Our Promise

At Love Grown, our promise is to create deliciously crunchy and nourishing breakfast foods made with only organic, non-GMO, ethically-sourced ingredients, and nothing artificial ever. We are committed to:

  • Organic: All of our core ingredients are certified USDA organic, because organic farming is better for the environment and minimizes exposure to synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.
  • Non-GMO: Our products are verified non-GMO by the Non-GMO Project. This means we avoid genetically engineered ingredients which have not been adequately tested for long-term safety.
  • Ethical Sourcing: We vet our suppliers thoroughly to ensure fair labor practices across our supply chain. We also prioritize purchasing from small American farms whenever possible.
  • No Artificial Junk: You’ll never find artificial flavors, colors, preservatives or high fructose corn syrup in any Love Grown products. Only real, nourishing foods.
  • Delicious Taste: Our cereals and granolas are crafted for optimal crunchy texture and craveable flavor combinations using chef-inspired recipes. We won’t compromise on great taste!
  • Nutritious Ingredients: Every recipe is packed with a blend of slow-burning whole grains, energizing seeds, and antioxidant-rich fruits and veggies to start your day off right.

Our Ingredients

At Love Grown, we’ve carefully crafted each recipe to include a powerhouse blend of organic whole grains, fruits, nuts and seeds. Here are some of our favorite ingredients and why we love them:

Whole Grains

  • Oats: Whole oats provide beta-glucan fiber for heart health, plus manganese and phosphorus. We use thick-cut oats for hearty texture.
  • Quinoa: This supergrain is high in protein and minerals like iron, zinc and magnesium. We use nutrient-dense red quinoa.
  • Amaranth: A gluten-free ancient grain loaded with fiber, protein, lysine and calcium. Adds a delicious toasted flavor.

Fruits and Veggies

  • Blueberries: Bursting with antioxidant power, these tiny blues offer vitamin C, manganese and fiber. We use only US-grown wild blueberries.
  • Strawberries: Sweet, tart strawberries supply vitamin C, manganese and disease-fighting antioxidants. Our berries are organic and sun-ripened.
  • Bananas: Perfectly ripe bananas lend natural sweetness along with potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C and fiber. We source fair trade organic bananas.
  • Apples: Crisp, refreshing apples provide a big crunch along with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Our organic apples are freshly sliced before blending into batter.
  • Carrots: Shredded carrots add a pop of color, subtle sweetness, vitamin A, beta-carotene and fiber. We use organic, locally-grown carrots when possible.

Nuts & Seeds

  • Almonds: These tree nuts offer plant-based protein, fiber, calcium, iron and vitamin E. We choose only USDA certified organic almonds.
  • Walnuts: Loaded with omega-3s, antioxidants and magnesium, walnuts add a boost of nutrition. Our walnuts are sustainably grown in California.
  • Pumpkin Seeds: An excellent source of magnesium, iron, zinc, protein and copper. We use a mix of sprouted and roasted organic pumpkin seeds.
  • Chia Seeds: Tiny but mighty chia seeds are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, protein, calcium, antioxidants and fiber. Our chia comes from regional growers.
  • Sunflower Seeds: These petite powerhouses provide vitamin E, magnesium, selenium, copper, B vitamins and iron. We source from Midwest farmers.
