Why Organic Matters: From San Francisco to your Breakfast Bowl

Why Organic Matters at Nana Joes Granola — A San Francisco Original

Our Granola Bars are now Certified Organic! You will start to see the packaging rolling out in the next couple of months and we are beyond stoked for this transformation. NJG Fact: they have always had organic ingredients! 

 Here is our WHY:

At Nana Joes Granola, based in the heart of San Francisco, organic isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the foundation of everything we do. From our first batch to every blend we craft today, our mission has always been simple: make the best-tasting organic granola using ingredients we’d serve to our own families.

Almost every product we make starts with USDA-certified organic ingredients and is handcrafted in small batches in our Dogpatch Kitchen. We proudly use Purity Protocol oats—not just gluten-free by testing, but protected from cross-contamination from farm to facility. That’s a big deal for our gluten-free customers and anyone seeking clean, trustworthy food.

Nana Joes Granola is deeply rooted in California. We source from organic farms across the state whenever possible, supporting local agriculture and ensuring every bite you take reflects the care and flavor of the West Coast. Whether you’re picking up a bag at Bi-Rite Market in San Francisco or ordering from across the country, you’re getting granola made with integrity, by a woman-owned business committed to transparency.

Choosing organic means choosing better soil, cleaner food, and a more sustainable food system for the future. But it also means taste. If you've tried our Paleo Sunrise Series or our seasonal Chef’s Blend, you know how powerful simple, organic ingredients can be when they’re roasted just right.

From Ocean Beach to Berkeley Bowl to homes across the U.S., Nana Joes Granola is proud to be your go-to for bold, gluten-free, organic granola. No fillers, no shortcuts—just real food made with purpose.
