Happy Spring to YOU!
Thank you for helping support a woman-owned business! Recently, I started an intensive business training program, Emerging Leaders, offered through the Small Business Administration where 93% of the participants are either women and/or minorities. It is essentially a mini-MBA program! Since I love to learn and I love business, this was a no-brainer. IT IS SO FUN! The program is going to help us further our mission of creating a better world through clean delicious food, together.
Seed to Feed
March 30, 2016 by
Ever hear of the seed-to-feed movement? Actually, I just made it up this morning to describe some of what we do. I bet you did not know that we grind our own seed and nut butters to put in the gluten free cookies and bars we make! Each small batch is made fresh.
Check out the humble yet nutrient-dense sunflower seeds we use in our handcrafted seed butter for the clean label food we make for our co-packing clients. First, we start with super fresh delicious raw unsalted sunflower seeds. Then, we mill them in our floor standing food processor. Next, we cool the sunflower butter on trays to maintain its’ freshness. Finally, we make delicious, simple clean food with our premium sunflower seed butter!
BumbleBar Travels to Phoenix, AZ
December 6, 2013 by
Christmas season is upon us and things may be a little bee-zy around here, considering the holiday spirit of 20-13 is now almost in full swing! We’re a little late on the Thanksgiving post, but decided to throw it back to Thursday of last week to remind ourselves of what we’re thankful for and what is most important during the holiday season – family, friends, and cheers to good health!
JunoBar is Here

We couldn’t be more excited about JunoBar. Named after the Roman Goddess Juno, this certified gluten free & certified bar also shares her qualities of vital energy and eternal youthfulness. As the newest member of the BumbleBar Family, JunoBar is absolutely fantastic. While it makes sense for us to think so, you’ve really got to try it!
The Benefits of Sesame Seeds: Open Sesame!
July 29, 2013 by
Here at BumbleBar, we love sesame seeds! That might seem like a no brainer but we really can’t get enough of them. Besides being a great option for a gluten free energy bar, sesame seeds are calcium-rich and help build strong bones. Sesame seeds contain three times as much calcium as an equivalent amount of milk. And studies show that sesamin, a lignan found only in sesame seeds, is a strong antioxidant that fights free radicals and helps with your cholesterol.
Inspired By More Than Honey
July 18, 2013 by
Last night, some of us at BumbleBar attended a local showing of the film, More Than Honey. We were blown away by some of the facts presented to us. Here at BumbleBar, we’ve been confusing vegans since 1995. Due to the bees on our packaging, it is a common misconception that BumbleBars contain honey. However, as our goal is to promote agricultural practices, the bee icon opens a dialogue about the positive benefits of farming. Not only do those cute Bumble Bees pollinate the plants that are responsible for many of our ingredients, especially almonds, but they are also the first animal affected by pesticides and herbicides.
Last night while watching More Than Honey, we learned that depending on the world region, 50% to 90% of all local bees have disappeared, and this epidemic is still spreading from beehive to beehive – all over the planet. It is a phenomenon scientists are calling “colony collapse disorder.”
While we’re very passionate about farming, we are by no means experts on the current bee epidemic. Instead, we’d like to provide you with resources to learn with us and continue this conversation.
Health Benefits of Certified BumbleBars

So maybe we’re biased, but we honestly think our certified BumbleBars rock. Besides the benefits of ethically-sourced, certified gluten free ingredients that are good for the world, the pure and simple ingredients are good for you.

A big thanks to this weeks guest blogger, Abby Heugel. Abby is a magazine editor and writer by day and as the sun goes down writes one of the funniest blogs you will be lucky enough to read. Below, Abby opens a window for us into her unique relationship with food and BumbleBars. She loves vegan bars!
Hello! I’m Abby, a blogger, a vegan and a dedicated BumbleBar fan for more than a decade. Considering a) how selective I am with my food and b) I can’t even commit to a hair color for more than a year, that’s really saying something.
