About Us

My journey began with something simple: a lifelong belief that what we put in our bodies matters.

I have always been mindful of the ingredients I eat and the importance of choosing wholesome, quality foods. That passion led me to create Cape Cod Cranola, built on the belief that healthy food can also be delicious, satisfying, and something you genuinely look forward to eating.

Much of my inspiration comes from my grandmother, Hannah Kalajian, whose creativity, determination, and entrepreneurial spirit have always inspired me. She began Near East in her own kitchen, packaging her rice pilaf by hand. Through hard work and a deep belief in what she created, she helped turn a homemade product into a successful nationwide company.

Her example has stayed with me throughout my life. As I build Cape Cod Cranola, I feel deeply connected to her legacy. What began in my grandmother’s kitchen continues in mine—a different generation and a different product, guided by the same care, perseverance, and commitment to creating something made with love.
