Our Story

Before P&TY was a brand, it was a granola bar Brit Williams made in her home kitchen for her husband — because she couldn't find a bar worth eating.

​

Hi, I’m Brit, and I call beautiful Minnesota home. Living with my husband, two kids, and our trusty dog, I embarked on a granola bar journey back in 2015. It all started when I noticed the lack of nutritional value in the granola bars my husband was eating. Determined to create something better, I crafted a granola bar that was both delicious and packed with essential nutrients, free from unnecessary additives.

Over the next few years, I whipped up these wholesome bars for our family and shared them at events I managed. Then, in early 2019, something magical happened. At a nationwide natural food store event, the staff couldn’t stop raving about my bars—they insisted I should sell them. That encouragement fueled my courage to share my creation with even more people!

But it wasn’t just about granola bars. As I pondered how our bars could stand out, I found myself teaching our young son about manners. The impact of a simple “No, Thank You!” versus a plain “No!” struck me profoundly. If such a small phrase could ease tensions with a child, imagine the transformative power of manners in all aspects of life.

And so, manners became our brand’s purpose. Our granola bars are crafted from simple, gluten-free, and dairy-free ingredients. But that’s not all—they carry a message that matters.

Manners mean respecting others, even when we disagree. We’re all humans, striving to do great things, and sometimes, we just need a gentle reminder to be kind to one another.

My hope? That our granola bars become a daily delight for people—a tasty reminder of the incredible power of manners.
