Nature's Bakery

Last week, our sales and marketing teams traveled from near and far to gather in Salt Lake City – the location of our soon-to-be baking facility! We toured the new site, connected on balance of year activities, collaborated on 2026 planning, and celebrated lots of wins (and a couple of birthdays 🎂). Every offsite is an opportunity to underscore how much we value team work—and each other. Until next time! #NaturesBakery #StrongerTogether

Today, Nature's Bakery reached an incredible milestone: officially opening our Salt Lake City baking facility!      The 339,000 square foot site will enable us to produce more than 1 billion incremental bars per year, driving greater capacity to meet growing consumer and retail demand. This $240 million investment supports Mars ongoing commitment to U.S.-based manufacturing. Yesterday Mars announced plans to invest $2 billion into U.S.-based manufacturing through 2026, this builds on the $6 billion that it has already invested over the last five years.  As a self-manufacturer, this expansion joins our existing bakeries to position Nature's Bakery as a leader in the better-for-you snack category—and we couldn’t do it without our talented team. We are grateful for the cross-functional collaborators, leaders, builders and beyond who made this incredible project a reality through their hard work and dedication. A special thank you to Mayor Erin Mendenhall for celebrating today’s ribbon cutting with us. We are thrilled about the positive impact this expansion will have on our brand, employees, and the Salt Lake City economy, as we deliver more of our beloved snacks to further our brand purpose of nourishing families and enabling them to thrive.

✨ Meet your new soft-baked boost: Hearty Bars! Perk up snack time with delicious bars made with 9 grams of wholesome whole grains and 9 grams of plant-based protein. This grab-and-go snack is perfect for the whole family from afternoon pick-me-ups to weekend hiking or biking.    “Families today are seeking snacks that fuel their busy days and fit seamlessly into all moments, whether at school, work, or on-the-go," said Pilar Arellano, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Nature's Bakery. "With Hearty Bars, we aimed to create a delicious, soft-baked snack made with plant-powered protein that’s suitable for all ages and stages. Our oven-baked recipe combines ingredients like fava bean and sunflower protein paired with delicious chocolate chips and real blueberries, so we’ve crafted a bar that delivers on texture, taste and thoughtful ingredients which sets us apart in this space.”   "A clear mission guided our innovation journey: to create a school and family-friendly snack bar that offers satisfying protein and whole grains in a way that appeals to all ages," said Alice A. Kim, Senior Innovation Manager at Nature's Bakery. “We named them Hearty Bars because they’re designed to be a truly satiating snack to keep you going with wholesome ingredients like oats, whole grains, and unique plant-based proteins. After extensive testing and refinement, we perfected a recipe that the whole family can enjoy.”   Hearty Bars are available in Blueberry🫐 and Chocolate Chip🍫 at naturesbakery.com and Target.

School is out for the summer, but I want to take a moment to recognize the wonderful people at the Guadalupe Center Charter School and the Utah Food Bank. During the school year, our Salt Lake City team at Nature's Bakery proudly partners with both organizations to help ensure children have access to nutritious meals. Through monthly volunteer efforts, our team assembled and distributed meal kits that reached nearly 200 households monthly. It’s an honor to support the No Kid Hungry initiative and make a meaningful difference in the lives of local families. A heartfelt thank you to Mia Canham, our incredible MSP Coordinator, for her leadership in organizing these efforts and inspiring our team to serve. We’re already looking forward to continuing this important work when the new school year begins this fall! #communityimpact #nokidhungry #naturesbakerycares #volunteerinutah #foodsecurity #guadalupecharterschool

Right now, 14 million children across the country are at risk of losing access to the food they rely on. Every family deserves the peace of knowing they can put meals on the table, but a new bill moving through Congress could mean deep cuts to essential food assistance programs that many count on. At Nature's Bakery, our purpose is to nourish families and enable them to thrive. That’s why we’re lending our voice and why our CEO, Steve Gardiner has proudly joined No Kid Hungry’s CEO Pledge to End Childhood Hunger. Beyond purpose and pledges, we need to take action. If you’d like to join us in being a part of the solution, here are ways to help: ✅ Give your senators a quick call—find their contact information here: bit.ly/43vr0NO ✅ If you’re able, consider donating to support Share Our Strength’s rapid response efforts that work to increase advocacy, mobilize their network, build coalitions, and drive awareness to ensure family food security is a priority. ✅ Talk to your family and friends about why protecting SNAP matters, what’s at stake for children, and why they should follow your lead and take action too. We’re in this together. Visit lnkd.in/gzYmKTQ9 to learn more. #NaturesBakery #StrongerTogether

Summer should be filled with sunshine, snacks, and smiles. But for millions of kids, it marks the hungriest time of the year. As schools close for the season, so does access to meals that many children rely on. At Nature's Bakery we believe every child must be nourished to flourish, and to support this mission I’ve proudly joined No Kid Hungry’s CEO Pledge to End Summer Hunger. I wrote about this commitment and the collective change we aim to make in the article below. Click to learn more. #NaturesBakery #NoKidHungry #StrongerTogether
