Where in the world today can you find a little company that makes small batch artisan granolas, muesli’s and trail mixes by hand? In Eugene, Oregon, of course! When Wildtime foods opened in 1981, the healthy food centered community of Eugene was a perfect fit. Back then, their products were actually delivered around town by bicycle. Though they’ve upgraded their delivery method, they still make all their products with human power.

Old world methods used by Wildtime result in that homemade feel that you just cannot find in other cereals today. In each bowl you’ll find large, satisfying chunks that include whole nuts, grains, and fruits but you won’t find flour or other processed foods.
Usually in cereals, you find a LONG list of unpronounceable ingredients. Instead, Grizzlie’s Brand Granola’s list of ingredients consists of a few fresh, whole natural grains, nuts and fruits grown organic locally or regionally as often as possible. Even more impressive is the list of items they don’t use in their products: No GMO’s, processed grains, processed sugars, preservatives, added salt, animal products, trans-fats, artificial colors, or hydrogenated oils.
Wildtime is dedicated to supporting local & regional small farms that focus on sustainability. Their method of ingredient selection involves relationship building with the farmers. They stand behind their superior ingredients (like almond butter and organic fruits & nuts) so much that you’ll find many of them available for sale from their website.
Where can you buy Grizzlies Brand products? In bulk bins across the nation. Search their store locator and you’ll see they supply healthy and gourmet stores both locally and nationally. They also sell smaller packages from their website. You can also get Grizzlies cereals at local restaurants such as Keystone Café and The Glenwood.
When meeting the people working at Wildtime, you sense a high level of camaraderie and mutual respect that gives a strong feeling of family. Somehow, that makes its way into every bowl so it feels like it came straight from grandma’s kitchen.
