Canada’s Original Gourmet Granola
Simply Sacred. Since 2004.
Like it’s many granola blends, La Fourmi is both bold and balanced. We are a woman-owned company which purposefully chose to adopt the most earth-friendly practices and source the highest quality of ingredients since the company’s beginnings. This meant doing things differently. The results are impressive and boast 15 awards and 10 certifications as well as a long list of popular enhancements to the granola experience and industry as a whole.
La Fourmi has become synonymous with quality and luxury, bringing a bold, contemporary angle to classic products which celebrate the pleasure food can evoke while also promoting a wholesome lifestyle.
On its 20th anniversary, La Fourmi adopted a new corporate signature that celebrates its legacy. ‘Simply Sacred. Since 2004’. The signature embodies the company’s singular approach to put nature first in every decision it makes in the pursuit of a supreme gourmet eating experience.

“In the past, the word “granola” was often synonymous with bland or boring. But Montrealer Geneviève Gagnon, founder and CEO of Fourmi Bionique, knows that’s not the case. Her company makes tasty, good-for-you granola blends (they even have keto-friendly versions) with only the best local ingredients, and that’s something to cheer for.”

If Jean de La Fontaine had lived to cross paths with Geneviève Gagnon, his famous fable could well have begun as follows: “The ant having worked all year round, found itself very well provided for when the bonus came.” Nearly 18 years after founding La Fourmi Bionique , the president of the company manufacturing granola, muesli and healthy snack mixes has never ceased to arouse admiration.

When Beaconsfield resident Geneviève Gagnon found herself feeling dissatisfied with her career in communications and PR, she followed in her family’s footsteps and pursued becoming an entrepreneur. “My father had a convenience store for 30 years and I grew up there. It was my first job,” she said. “I was untameable in the work world and unhappy with my job, and I wanted to find a product or a passion I could invest myself in.”

I’ve long been a fan of this delicious granola, which is made in Montreal — and how great that they’ve launched a gluten-free/grain-free line made with oven-roasted nuts and seeds. So many granolas are either rancid or too sweet, but these three flavours are fresh-tasting and well balanced. Ideal for morning cereal or snacking. Buy all three varieties to make a great gift. Beware: it’s addictive!
