Ellen Burns - founder of We Bar None, a Ballarat based snack business.

 

Hi!

I’m Ellen and I am the creator of We Bar None.

I first had the idea for We Bar None when I was living and working in Canada in 2013.
I was learning a lot about nutrition and using food as medicine, and needed healthy snacks to get me through days at my desk working in payroll.
I started making healthy snacks for myself, recipe testing and researching.
By the time I got back to Australia, I was ready to hit the ground running and I’ve been working on We Bar None full time since 2015!

My goal is to create snacks that are:
Delicious
Nutritious
Filling
Convenient
Ethical
and fit within a wide range of dietary choices and requirements.

I wanted to create a range that ticked all the boxes and would bar none!

In 2018 I became the first Victorian business to use 100% home compostable wrappers on my energy bars.

It can be really hard to find products that are everything we’re looking for – it’s my mission to make it easier!

Here’s a few places you may have seen me…
