MACAW! FOODS LLC
ORLANDO, FLORIDA

Our slogan, "Spread your wings. Be wild!" is a reflection of our company culture and founder, Owen Seay, who started Macaw! Foods in the summer of 2014.  After selling all of his personal belongings at the age of 26, he moved into the back of a small production warehouse where he spent over two and a half years secretly sleeping on a folding camping cot, showering at the local YMCA, and figuring out how to build Macaw! Foods from scratch. Owen has written a number of articles about his personal experiences while building the business and what it took to get things off the ground. From recipe development, branding, packaging, equipment acquisition, growing pains, and what it's like to live in a warehouse! Using our own specialized equipment, we make and package Macaw! Bars ‘in-house’ at our very own, dedicated production facility, based in Orlando, FL. Fresh ingredients are mixed from scratch, extruded into dessert bars, then packaged for sale. From start to finish, there is NO baking or cooking involved throughout the process. Manufacturing our own products provides us with the flexibility and benefit of being able to closely control a wide range of variables related to the overall freshness and quality of our final product. It’s a bit more work on our end, but we think it’s worth it. Nearly ALL of the ingredients used to make our GOURMET PROTEIN DESSERT BARS are 100% certified organic. However, we do not technically carry an organic certification for our products at this time. Our slogan, "Spread your wings.
