FUNdamentally Nuts

My name is Lisa and I'm nuts about adventures, good food, and trying new things. For several years, I've baked hearty crunchy nutty granola.  I found just the right combination of oats, mixed grains, nuts, and natural sweetening from New England natural maple syrup.  After sharing a few batches with family and friends, several people suggested I make this tasty treat available more widely, so FUNdamentallyNuts was born. 

​

I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and remain in contact with families in that beautiful war-torn country. Proceeds from FUNdamentallyNuts provide these families ways to earn a living. We've funded the purchase of a motorcycle taxi to provide a way to feed a family of 9; we sent money to help a young widow start a business selling boards for people constructing houses. We've covered the cost of care for a woman with a heart ailment needing treatment and follow-up monitoring. In 2022 we will continued to support these families' children's health and education which is increasingly difficult with covid.  Every purchase you make helps - thanks!

In Nov 2020 we made our first price increase in 6 years. This reflects the ongoing increase in prices for nuts, pure Maine maple syrup, bags, insurance etc. We don't want to dilute our recipes or make our bags lighter as a way to "hide" increases. We hope you'll understand and continue to support us.
