Our Story

Jill, Founder of Vail Valley Harvest, in the mountains

My passion for health began long before Vail Valley Harvest. As a Certified Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, I've always been fascinated by the connection between what we put into our bodies and how we feel. I believe in taking a proactive, preventative approach to wellness—choosing real, nourishing ingredients and natural solutions whenever possible.

I've also had a longtime passion for essential oils and the way they can naturally enhance our everyday lives. That philosophy is reflected in the way I create food: thoughtfully, intentionally, and with ingredients I feel good about sharing with the people I love.

I've been making granola for my family for years. What started in my own kitchen eventually became something my children encouraged me to share with others. They loved it, friends loved it, and little by little, the idea for Vail Valley Harvest was born.

Vail Valley Harvest is not about making just another granola. I wanted to create something truly different from the overly sweet, highly processed granolas that often line grocery store shelves. Our granola is made in small batches with thoughtfully chosen ingredients, including organic sprouted oats, natural sweeteners, wholesome nuts and seeds, and carefully selected organic additions. Some varieties are uniquely enhanced with pure oils, creating a depth of flavor that makes each bite memorable.

For me, Vail Valley Harvest is about bringing together great taste, real & wholesome ingredients, and a mindful approach to nourishment.

It's granola made the way I believe food should be made—simple, intentional, delicious, and made with love.
