Our Story

Nova Granola was born in our kitchen in Cary, North Carolina — a recipe my wife and I tinkered with after we couldn't find a granola that was nourishing enough to feel good about feeding our kids and tasted good enough that they actually wanted to eat it.

It took a lot of batches. Less sugar. No sugar. Honey for a while. Then dates instead of honey. Different nuts. Different ratios. Different oven temperatures. Eventually we landed on something that disappeared from the pan as fast as we could bake it — and our kids weren't the only ones asking for more. Friends started asking. Then friends of friends. So we started Nova Dreams LLC as our small way of sharing it.

What makes Nova Granola different

Sweetened only with dates. No refined sugar. No honey. No syrups. The natural sweetness comes entirely from sun-dried Medjool dates blended into every batch.

Premium organic ingredients. Organic rolled oats, organic coconut oil, organic dates, organic chia and hemp. The nuts and seeds are sourced for flavor and freshness, not the lowest price.

Made by hand, in small batches. Every bag is mixed, baked, and packaged by us — never on a production line. You're getting granola made the same way we make it for our own family.

We're a part of our community here in the Triangle. We've baked custom batches for school fundraisers, given a portion of sales back to Oak Grove Elementary, and brought parfait cups to teacher appreciation events. If you have an idea for a custom order or fundraiser, we'd love to hear it.

Thanks for being here. We're glad you're trying Nova.
