OUR STORY

real life needed
better fuel.

For busy mornings, full schedules, and everything in between.
Laura Dunlop • St. Louis, Missouri
THE BEGINNING

Real life moves fast.

Between early mornings, late hockey practices, long runs, chaotic school drop-offs, and everything in between, finding food made with real ingredients that everyone in the house would eat was a struggle.

Our Original recipe started with all of the ingredients I grabbed out of the pantry: protein-packed nuts, nutritious little seeds and oats to fuel our busy days.

The first batches were made for our family.

The next batches were made for friends. Then neighbors. Then teammates. Before we knew it, the boys and I were delivering granola all around town.

Every bag, every order, every kind word, and every shared bag with a friend has helped us build something special. Thank you all so much for being a part of our adventure.
Love,
Laura & the 3 Bears
THE JOURNEY

less than a year in.

From porch pickups in St. Louis to doorsteps across the country.
July '25

the first batch

Somewhere between long hikes, hungry boys & summer in Montana, 3 Bears started with one sheet pan & a search for better fuel.
Sep '25

porch pickups begin

I started gifting granola to friends & family. They kept asking for more. So I made a Google form, shared it on Instagram, & suddenly people were showing up on my porch for pick-ups.
Oct '25

the first shelves

Porch pick-ups turned into retail shelves faster than we expected. First Palm, then Companion. Others followed.
Nov '25

out of the house

The oven at home couldn't keep up anymore. So we moved into a commercial kitchen.
Dec '25

the first giveback

The boys picked the cause and together we wrote a $500 check to the Buddy Fund — a moment that made 3 Bears feel bigger than granola.
Spring '26

more than breakfast

3 Bears started showing up in lunch boxes, hockey bags, race days, road trips, & kitchens all over the country.
