The popular snack and cereal food known as “granola” dates back to the late 19th century, when whole grain was first baked in the oven to give it a distinct taste and texture.

It took on many different forms and flavors in the decades that followed, and really blossomed in the 1960’s when the addition of fruits and nuts made it a delicious and nutritious way to snack.

The first batch of Nature’s Hand was baked in 1971 using a homemade recipe carefully crafted by German-born immigrants in Burnsville, Minnesota. Their sweet, hearty granola was a hit – fast becoming a favorite of friends and family. So they decided to share their homemade recipe with the public and Nature’s Hand Granola was born.

The first bags of Nature’s Hand Granola weren’t easy to find, carried exclusively by specialty grocers and health food retailers. But word traveled fast, and as people discovered its many uses from baking to snacking to cereal mixer, Nature’s Hand Granola started popping up on more and more shelves across the upper Midwest…and beyond.

Today, we still use the same quality ingredients, the same popular recipe, and the same oven-baked process people have been enjoying since 1971. We’ve even added a few new flavors because different people have different tastes.

Nature’s Hand is a great-tasting granola the whole family can love – however you choose to love it – and it’s made right here in the U.S.A.
