History

Around 1998, Bise started making her own nutrition bars at home. Her son began making his own several years later when he turned 18 years old, and the two would swap recipes. In 2006, Flynn graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in Business Administration. After starting the business at home in 2006, and later borrowing commercial kitchen space from Ms. Bise's synagogue, Bise and Flynn moved into their own space the following year, not far from the Farmers Market at the Grove. In 2011, the company moved to a new 8,000 square foot facility in Downtown Los Angeles. [1]
