How GoMacro's history shapes who we are today?
During her 2003 battle with cancer, co-founder Amelia Kirchoff created the first MacroBar® recipe in her kitchen on the Wisconsin family farm. In the years following, Amelia and her daughter and co- founder Jola began spreading awareness for the power of a balanced, plant-based lifestyle through GoMacro's healthy and delicious MacroBars, which are now available in stores
nationwide.
Today, our work is still guided by the values upon which Jola and Ameia built GoMacro: Live Long, Eat Positive, Give Back, Tread Lightly, and Be Well. It's our goal to inspire people to have a healthy body, sharp mind, and bold spirit-and we believe doing fun, and meaningful work is part of that.
Join us as we make the world better, one bite at a time!
