About Us

About Flax4Life:

Flax4Life celebrates 22 years in the business as a family-owned and operated bakery that produces the best-tasting, nutritious, and flax-based gluten-free products on the market. The allergy-friendly bakery is Certified Gluten-FreeNut-FreeDairy-Free, and Kosher. We produce delicious BrowniesMuffinsGranola, Cookies, and now a new No Sugar Added Chocolate Brownie that taste delicious but are also good for you. Flax is the main ingredient in every product, and with this comes a treat that is packed full of fiberOmega 3's, and healthy protein. It helps the body out from the head to the toes with support of the mind, heart, bones, and, most importantly, the gut. 

Their discussion to develop nutritious gluten-free baked goods came two decades ago when a family member became very ill. After two years of not getting any answers and seeing countless doctors and specialists, they finally discovered they were living with Celiac Disease. Shortly after, they found almost everyone in their family was either gluten-intolerant or had Celiac Disease. Flax4Life noticed the lack of safe and delicious baked goods available for those living with food allergies. As a family of bakers with five generations of baking and distributing baked goods, it became their mission to develop products with many health benefits that were also gluten-free, made with good ingredients, and, most importantly, tasted delicious.

What is Compostable Packaging?

  • Made from Plants, not petroleum
  • Compostable within 180 days in an industrial facility
  • It contains NO BPAs, phthalates, or chemicals of concern.
  • Made from annually renewable materials
  • We are lowering our CO2 Emissions.
  • Reducing Environmental impact 

Flax4Life is committed not only to creating Nutritious and Delicious products for the body but to protecting the health of our planet and preserving it for future generations.

The switch to eco-friendly and renewable Packaging, thus reducing thousands of pounds of petroleum plastic in the environment, is a very proud and significant change for our company," said Kasondra Shippen, General Manager at Flax4Life. "We're focused on ensuring our products and operations are as healthy and sustainable as possible and introducing compostable plant-based packaging allowed us to take the next big step in that direction."

“Thank you ! thank you so much for making your products. I am a new mom with a four month old and a very demanding full time job. I travel a lot in my car and on the plane and never am able to eat right on the road. Your muffins paired with a coffee in the morning is heaven! It makes me feel good, it fills me up and I know I'm getting the right nutrients in my body! The Hawaiian pineapple and coconut are awesome. Again just thank you thank you thank you for making a product that I can eat and feel good about.”
