Our Superfood Granola
Our Maple Joan granola is a "superfood" granola handmade with care in the Sweet Monkey Business kitchen in Belfast, Maine. Our granola is sourced with the highest quality and nutrient-dense ingredients available - pumpkin seeds, coconut, nuts, seeds, and grains - sourced locally whenever possible. We avoid using excessive oats or “filler” ingredients to provide our customers with an exceptional quality, nutritious, and delicious product.
"This granola is without a doubt the best I've ever had." - Jeff P.
Our Sweet Story
We started baking cookies for the holidays for friends and family back in 2010. Each year we improved our recipes and the list of recipients eagerly awaiting our delivery got bigger and bigger. We like making distinctive, delicious cookies, so in 2019 we started Sweet Monkey Business.
Earth-Friendly Box Packaging
As of February 1, 2020 all of the packaging for our cookie boxes is made from 100% compostable material, even our clear bags are made from plants!
