A Bar That Sells Muesli?
NOW THAT’S A MUESLI BAR!
WHERE IT BEGAN
It seemed like every weekend Lisa would lose Rowly at the supermarket, only to find him roaming up and down the cereal aisle attempting to locate the muesli he hated the least. One week it occurred to Lisa that she could save time if she made the muesli herself and it was over a bowl of Lisa's hand toasted muesli that the question was asked: "Why can't we make muesli for everyone?!" Lisa came up with a business plan for an online custom made muesli service. The idea was tested (and still operates) at the local farmer's markets and The Muesli Bar was born!
WHERE WE ARE NOW
On 18 November 2019 ownership of The Muesli Bar changed hands to allow Lisa, Rowly and their growing family to follow their dream of traveling Australia and settling in warmer climes. The new owner, Margi, is a cake decorator by trade, and has previously owned and run a kitchenware shop in Canberra, so is quite at home in a kitchen. She adheres to the successful business model that Lisa and Rowly set up, and will add to the range gradually as demand, and tastes, dictate. Priority is given to local, high quality produce to include in the range, and customers’ requests regarding ingredients are always welcome.
WHAT WE DO
Our products are still hand toasted using local honey without preservatives or anything artificial. We bake in small weekly batches to offer the freshest possible product to our muesli pals. When you order a custom made bag of our delicious muesli we usually make it on the very next of our business days (Tues to Thurs), but currently with the lockdown madness, it can take up to a week for delivery!
We first look to source ingredients locally, but obviously not all of our ingredients can be grown locally or even in Australia. Suppliers are prioritised by their proximity to Canberra as well as the quality of their product and ability to meet our customer's demand. We also offer seasonal fruits that are sliced down and air dried in house!
WHAT YOU CAN DO
On the website you can select from our entire range of ready to go muesli's, porridge toppings, granolas and snacks. You can also build your own versions of these products. The idea is pretty simple. You start with one of our gluten free or oat bases then select up to 8 ingredients to create a product specifically to your preference, taste or dietary requirements. We'll then send it to your door!
You can visit us at the Canberra Regional Farmers Market every(ish) Saturday or our shopfront in Fyshwick Tuesday to Thursday to collect pre-ordered bags, or pick and choose from what you see there, or if you’re lucky, be a taste-tester for one of our latest creations.
If you prefer shopping local, our bags are now available through a number of discerning retailers across the ACT and New South Wales, and if your local doesn’t stock us, reach out and let us know where you would like to see us.
