Made In Michigan

ERG! bars are hand-made in Traverse City, Michigan. No big processing machines, no preservatives, and no additives. They are packed with honest stuff and they taste good.

Raw and Natural Ingredients

Raw food is rich in enzymes, vitamins and minerals that allows your body to easily digest food. Cooking food destroys these nutrients so your body has to use up its own enzymes that should be used for other bodily functions, including metabolism and energy production.

What about non-gluten, all-organic, dairy-free, palm kernel, soy-free, and all those other popular buzz-words? That's easy to answer. We prefer natural ingredients that don't require a labratory to make them. ERG! bars are made from wholesome foods that you can actually identify when you see them.

Locally Produced

We support local agriculture. Our honey is produced in Benzie County by Jones Bee Yards and our nut butters come from Naturally Nutty in Williamsburg.
