Honey Mama’s is the Portland, Oregon-based maker of delicious honey-sweetened refrigerated truffle bars!
Founded in 2013 by Christy Goldsby at the Portland Farmers Market, Honey Mama’s is now sold in over 8,000 stores nationwide. The brand has garnered national press recognition as a cult-favorite in Bon Appetit, Forbes, Refinery29, Healthline, Eat This Not That!, Men’s Health, Food & Wine, Epicurious, and more.
Honey Mama’s is beloved for its one-of-a-kind texture, often compared to brownie batter, chocolate truffles, or fudge – the real treat is discovering each bar is made from only a limited number of nutrient-rich whole food ingredients. Setting the gold standard for what it means to be clean label, all Honey Mama’s products are free from refined sugar, gluten, dairy, soy, stabilizers, emulsifiers, and additives. Just imagine your favorite candy bar went to a meditation retreat and came back enlightened.
Our mission is to further the food-as-medicine movement by giving you a uniquely memorable indulgent experience that contributes simultaneously to health and vitality. In September 2021, Honey Mama’s announced the close of a Series A2 investment round, led by Amberstone Ventures. Yes, our master plan is to bring more joy to the world with every Honey Mama’s bar we make (and you eat!).
