Hannah and Brady, founders of Seven Sundays®, first discovered and fell in love with muesli on their honeymoon in New Zealand. Upon returning home to the US, they realized the breakfast aisle was seriously lacking in clean, quality options.

We are now one of the fastest growing breakfast brands-our Upcycled Cereals, Muesli, Granola and Protein Oats are sold in over 9,000 stores including Target, Whole Foods, Kroger, Costco, Sam's Club, and Sprouts. We are rethinking the food system from the ground up, making cereals that improve the health of the people & planet. Proudly a B Corp since 2019, the heart of the business remains the same as we grow: a small team hustling to create a better breakfast, one that works in harmony with nature and benefits all
