Due to increasing consumer demand, Back Roads became non-GMO Project Verified in 2017. Consumers have falsely believed that foods labeled organic are also non GMO. This was true years ago, before GMOs became widely used. This, sadly, is no longer the case. and it is important to prove it through a third party certifier, like The Non-GMO Project. Their Butterfly logo has become the most recognizable and trusted label for GMO avoidance among shoppers today.

Kosher certification supports all of our other certifications. It’s further assurance that our products are, in fact, certified ‘clean’. Satisfying not only our kosher customers, but all of our customers. Only those products meeting the strictest standards of kashrus (kosher law) are granted permission to display the KOF-F K symbol, which is protected under U.S. Federal and international law against unauthorized use.

As founders of Back Roads, we have been avid supporters of organic foods for a very long time. It started when we were young back-to-the land hippies, wanting to grow our own chemical free food. When we had children, eating ‘clean’ food became more important. And, grew in importance when grandchildren came into our lives. 11 years ago, we started Back Roads Granola ~ fully committed to providing real ‘clean’ organic foods for our family, friends and customers. Producing ‘clean’ foods has positively changed our lives in so many ways. We’re more committed than ever and will continue to ‘vote with our dollars’ and produce only organic, chemical, pesticide, herbicide free foods.
