About

Sydney's Journey

French Squirrel started after founder Sydney struggled with disordered eating and hormonal health and learned firsthand how much food impacts how you feel.

While studying in Bordeaux, she reconnected with her French roots and rediscovered a balanced, joyful relationship to food.

On a mission to heal her own cycle naturally, she became frustrated that "healthy snacks" were either filled with questionable ingredients or simply didn't taste good. She began creating recipes that satisfied cravings using simple, organic ingredients without sacrificing flavor.

While working at Erewhon, she began making protein bites that helped her heal, and quickly gained a cult following. Encouraged to turn her hormone-friendly snacks into a brand, French Squirrel was born.

Since founding the company in 2020, she has bootstrapped and self-funded French Squirrel, growing it into a nationally distributed brand carried by retailers including Erewhon, The Fresh Market, Foxtrot, Happier Grocery, Butterfield Market, SunLife Organics, Central Market, and more.

Today, her mission is to help women nourish their bodies with snacks that are as good for the soul as they are delicious.

The best snacks start with the best ingredients.
