The KFP Story

Hi, I’m Cordy! I started making granola at home (that's our kitchen where we started) because my children needed a healthy snack for their active lifestyles, and we weren’t happy with what was available on the market. My children loved my homemade granola – just sweet enough, not as dry as all the other brands, not over done with seeds and flavors – and soon I couldn’t make it fast enough for them.

My boys were very involved in competitive rowing. Nate (my oldest son) started taking large bowls of our granola to rowing regattas where he was coaching. The rowers – and their parents – became big fans. Everyone kept asking “Where can I buy it?!”

So, we decided to put our homemade granola in bags and sell it at the Maritime Rowing Club in South Norwalk CT – that’s where my boys learned to row and where they trained and coached. Nate still rows and competes for Maritime!

We were selling lots of granola to the rowers.  Then the athletes started bringing in orders from their friends at school. And parents started placing orders for themselves and their friends.  Over and over we were asked the same question… “Where can I buy it!“

We realized that our granola wasn’t just a great energy and recovery food for competitive athletes, but it was granola for anybody who wants a healthy snack. The family got together and decided – we have to do this!  And that’s how we started Kelly’s Four Plus.

We set up our own commercial kitchen – near the boathouse in South Norwalk – to meet the growing demand for our products.

We've expanded our space twice since then, learning a lot of things along the way about how to make literally tons of granola every month, but doing it the same way as when we started. It turns out it's complicated to keep things simple!

We're still a family business, making our granola in small batches, just like Cordy did in our kitchen at home.  And we still sell to our friends at Maritime Rowing Club!

You can find our granola throughout the North East and New England, as well as online.  We are adding new markets all the time, so keep checking back at our web site or sign up for our newsletter and we’ll keep you updated on other places you can buy Kellys Family Foods products!
