Grandy Giving
Giving Back has Always Been our Goal
Since the very beginning we have viewed our business as a way to create positive change in our community as well as the wider world. Trying to do what's right, informs every decision we make here at Grandy, from where we source our ingredients, to how we power our bakery. To us running our company and trying to make the world a better place are one in the same, which is why our core values as individuals have become so central to our identity as a company.
