Started by an 8-year-old, Rainbow Trout Kitchen fuels life's adventures!
Rainbow Trout Kitchen's granola began with an unusual founder, Peter, who got the recipe on a fly-fishing trip and started his business in the family kitchen. Everyone loved his handmade granola. As he headed to college in 2020, his mother, Jakie, reeled in her good friend Ashley to buy the business.
Friends & partners for years on community projects, the duo embarked on a new adventure to share RTK granola far and wide. Rainbow Trout Kitchen offers two flavors - Classic Almond and Triple Seed Berry (gluten-free). One bite & you're hooked!

Our granola recipe originated during a fly-fishing trip, which inspired the name. The business was started by 8-year-old Peter in 2010 using a recipe shared with his family on that fishing adventure. When Peter went to college in 2020, his mother Jakie and her friend Ashley took over to continue sharing this delicious granola with outdoor enthusiasts and granola lovers everywhere!
