During her 2003 battle with cancer, co-founder Amelia Kirchoff created the first Macro Bar® recipe in her kitchen on the Wisconsin family farm. In the years following, Amelia and her daughter and co-founder Jola began spreading awareness for the power of a balanced, plant-based lifestyle through GoMacro’s healthy and delicious Macro Bars, which are now available in stores nationwide.

Today, our work is still guided by the values upon which Jola and Amelia built GoMacro:
Live Long, Eat Positive, Give Back, Tread Lightly, and Be Well. It’s our goal to inspire people to have a healthy body, sharp mind, and bold spirit—and we believe doing fun, and meaningful work is part of that.

Join us as we make the world better, one bite at a time!
