Simple Ingredients for Healthy Life
Welcome to Mountain Organic Foods, a truly family owned and operated  company. Mountain Organic Foods is committed to the values of sustainable, organic farming and environmental stewardship. Ken and Craig, the co-founders of the company, started developing Bear Fruit Bars after Ken purchased an organic orchard in Hood River, Oregon. They have since corralled various family members and friends to help grow the company, and are constantly on the lookout for new flavor ideas. “We created a bar that takes the nutritious benefits of sustainable, organically grown fruits and provides a convenient, healthy snack for everybody. They’ve been a hit everywhere we go, especially with Moms” explains Craig
