Honey Mama’s is the Portland, Oregon-based maker of delicious honey-sweetened refrigerated truffle bars! Founded in 2013 by Christy Goldsby at the Portland Farmers Market, the company furthers the food-as-medicine movement by offering a uniquely memorable indulgent experience that contributes simultaneously to health and vitality. Honey Mama’s is beloved for its one-of-a-kind texture, often compared to brownie batter, chocolate truffles, or fudge – the real treat is discovering each bar is made from only a limited number of nutrient-rich whole food ingredients. Setting the gold standard for what it means to be clean label, all Honey Mama’s products are paleo and free from refined sugar, gluten, dairy, soy, stabilizers, emulsifiers, and additives. Just imagine your favorite candy bar went to a meditation retreat and came back enlightened.
In February 2024 Honey Mama’s announced the close of a Series B investment round, led by Irresistible Foods Group, and is now sold in the refrigerated section of more than 6,000 stores nationwide.
Founding Story
Christy Goldsby is the founder and board chair of Honey Mama’s, the Portland, Oregon-based maker of refrigerated truffle bars changing the status quo for indulgence. Nearly 15 years ago, a personal health journey inspired Christy to bridge two lifelong passions: delicious, indulgent foods and the empowerment of personal wellness. Christy discovered she could create the taste and texture of the most undeniably delicious treats using a powerful combination of only real, nutrient-rich whole foods. She debuted her one-of-a-kind line of truffle bars at the Portland State Farmers Market in 2013 to overwhelming response and expanded to grocery store refrigerators in her first year. Christy has since grown the business to over 6,000 stores nationwide with the completion of a Series B investment in 2024. Her mission remains the same: to change lives by encouraging awareness of food as medicine through treats that inspire joy as well as health and vitality.
Prior to launching Honey Mama’s, Christy was an owner of Blue Gardenia Bakery and Coffee Roasting Company. She is a lifelong resident of Portland, Oregon.
