About Us

Since our founding in 2011, Nature’s Bakery has been baking better-for-you snacks to nourish families and enable them to thrive. We believe that the choice to snack healthier should be an easy and desirable one. Today, we are a top 10 granola and snack bar brand, with approximately 500 employees baking soft-baked snacks with real, recognizable, and wholesome ingredients, such as whole grains and sun-ripened fruits.

Our marketplace success led us to join forces with KIND to create a health and wellness platform within Mars, Inc. While continuing to operate as a standalone company, we are now part one of the most well-regarded consumer goods company in the world. That independence allows us to remain an agile, insurgent brand committed to our brand purpose and founding.

Nature’s Bakery is a fast-growing company with a bright future ahead. We have achieved great things, and there is more opportunity for growth both on the digital and retail shelves, through expanded distribution with existing and new retail customers. To achieve our aspirations, we are expanding our team of growth-minded, nimble, and entrepreneurial individuals who like to roll up their sleeves and get things done.
