The price of Sunny Boy Foods products are higher on Amazon than normal retail prices due to the elevated cost for us to partner with Amazon for distribution.

What is the Sunny Boy Foods Process?
The story of our cereal, flour, and pancake mixes begins in the sunny fields surrounding Camrose, Alberta. Wheat, rye, barley, and flax are grown using methods as simple as being fueled by the sun and watered by the skies. In accordance with Canada’s Organic Certification, the organic grain growers for Sunny Boy keep their fields free from chemicals and pesticides, ensuring that Sunny boy products are good for the body and for the land.
Once harvested, the grain is brought to the Sunny Boy mill where it undergoes a careful selection process in the testing laboratory. As they’re carefully cleaned and sorted, only the highest quality grains make the cut, which is why Sunny Boy is so nutritious.
The entire process takes place at the mill, including the packaging of the products in recyclable bags. We’ve taken care to see that our grain has the least amount of food miles so that you get to experience nutritious products fresh off the mill.
