THE GRANOLA: Made with whole foods such as organic rolled oats, organic coconut, nuts, seeds and extra virgin olive oil, Early Bird Foods & Co. Granola is ideal for breakfast with yogurt, as an indulgence over ice cream or as a healthy snack by itself. The granola is offered in four varieties—Farmhand’s Choice with Hand-Selected Pecans; Aloha Recipe with Mango and Macadamia Nuts; Jubilee Recipe with Sour Cherries and Pistachios; and Choc-a-doodle-doo with Dark Chocolate and Coconut—all made entirely by hand in small batches to ensure optimum toast and crunch in every bag. The granola is baked in Brooklyn, NY and is available at select specialty stores in the Northeast, as well as nationwide online.
THE COOK: It was while serving as the Manager of franny’s restaurant in Brooklyn, that Early Bird Foods & Co. creator and owner Nekisia Davis, was imparted an appreciation for simple food and above all, good olive oil—an ingredient essential in making Early Bird Granola so special. A Texan who grew up eating home cooked meals prepared by her mother and grandmothers, Nekisia is a true blue foodie with an immense appreciation for whole food that nourishes the body. After perfecting her granola recipe at home and testing it on friends to rave reviews, Nekisia realized it was time to go public and Early Bird Foods & Co. was born.
