FAQ

Is your granola really handmade?

Yes! At Michele’s Granola, we make all our products from scratch, by hand, at our small-batch bakery facility. Even our packaging is done by hand! 

Where can I find the ingredient and nutritional information?

All ingredients, as well as the nutritional information, per ¼ cup serving, are listed on the back panel of every packaged bag of Michele’s Granola. The information is also listed on each product page in our online store.

How should I store my granola?

Unopened packages of Michele’s Granola have a nice long shelf life of about 6 months from the date we bake the granola, despite not containing any additives or preservatives. Your purchase will be stamped with a “Best By” date. You can extend the freshness up to another six months by freezing the granola in an air-tight bag or container. Once you dig into your granola, please make sure to re-seal open packages completely and store in a cool, dark place for maximum freshness.

Is Michele’s Granola certified organic?

While we are not yet certified organic, our granola is about 70% organic by volume.

Is your granola gluten-free?

The ingredients in our products are naturally free of gluten: We do not bake with any wheat, barley or rye, and we bake all our products in our own dedicated facility with certified gluten-free organic oats.

Is your granola dairy-free?

Our granola is dairy-free, and we do not use any dairy products in our facility.

Is your granola vegan?

All of our products are certified vegan except our Cherry Chocolate and winter seasonal Cranberry Pecan variety, due to the sugar on the dried fruit not being verified as vegan. Michele’s Granola is sweetened with organic brown sugar, which is vegan certified.

I’m allergic to nuts – do you offer any nut-free varieties?

We do not bake any packaged varieties that are nut-free, though we bake a bulk granola you many find in store bulk bins or cafes that is fully nut-free. Our granola and facility are 100% peanut-free.

Where are you located?

Our bakery facility, where we run our entire operation, is located in Timonium, Maryland. While we don’t have a store front at our facility, you can purchase our granola on this website or at more than 3,500 retailers.
