Wholesome Handmade Granola Bars

Garuka Bars Come Wrapped in 100% Recyclable Packaging

— June 12, 2017 — Eco
Garuka Bars are healthy granola snacks that people can feel good about consuming, whether it is for health or socially conscious reasons.

The Garuka brand offers handmade granola bars that are packed with wholesome ingredients like Vermont raw honey, whole peanuts, and dried cranberries. The granola bars are handmade, but the Garuka brand is currently seeking funding to purchase a machine that will improve and speed up its packaging process. The packaging the granola bars come in is 100% recyclable, and comes in the form of a simple brown paper with the brand's information and logo stamped onto it.

Consumers who purchase Garuka Bars will contribute to a donation towards mountain gorilla conservation, making the purchase both a nutritious and charitable one.
