How we got started...
Hi! I’m Erica, Owner & Niece of Aunt Susie's Granola. My Aunt Susie is the name sake for my company and my favorite taste-tester! She will occasionally lend a hand with baking for big events and if you're lucky, you might get to meet her at a Craft Show or Farmers Market. The Original Granola is her original recipe. She shared the recipe with me during a visit and I was hooked! I began making granola for family and friends and then began to experiment with different flavor combinations.
In the Fall of 2021, with my aunt’s blessing, I created Aunt Susie’s Granola. My goal was to stay busy during my empty-nesting years. I had no idea what I was in for! To date, I have created and sold over 20 flavors of granola and recently moved into my first commercial kitchen. My husband, Robert, has joined in the fun and has taken over the Farmers Market side of the business and often lends a hand with production and automation. My gourmet, artisan granola is made in small batches and hand turned to create the perfect blend of ingredients. Over the past year I have transitioned to a 100% Gluten Free Kitchen and expanded our product offerings to include overnight oats and other snack items. You can now find Aunt Susie's Granola in 13 locations throughout Arkansas and it is shipped coast to coast online with subscription service options. This little business has exceeded all of my expectations! I am so thankful to all who love it and for those who haven't yet tried it, I can not wait to hear your feedback!
