About Bear Food

Bear Food began when its founder left collegiate basketball and needed a way to pay for school.

What began with corporate gifts quickly grew into a full-fledged brand as customers kept asking, “Where can I get more?” Beyond the snacks, Bear Food has a bigger purpose: providing meaningful work for young adults with special needs, including the founder’s brother, Miller.
