Blasting in 100 degrees of West Texas desert beauty, we sat at our campsite and reflected on a long day of hiking and cycling through the awe-inspiring grand vistas of Big Bend. It was the final night of a week-long expedition and we were admiring our weathered bodies and the spirits that had granted us a most memorable experience. It was here that we first heartily discussed the idea to expand our small energy bar company.
As night fell, a lightning storm looming on the horizon provided the fireworks that further sparked our imaginations. We interpreted this moment as a sign, a metaphor, for what we captured in our energy bar. Raw, organic power and a simple, yet finely balanced force; an entire energy system designed to bring life and romance to an otherwise harsh and punishing environment. We had been touched by the Thunderbird and everything that it represents.
That night, Thunderbird Energetica, alongside the refinement of our company mission, was birthed.
Thunderbird Energetica is an artisan energy bar manufacturer committed to producing powerful sources of human fuel. We strive to reinvent the energy bar by creating products that push the limits of nutrition, packaging, and community involvement. Utilizing both locally available and seasonal ingredients, we embrace the romance of REAL food, and the way it interacts with our bodies, environments, and most importantly, our souls.
Each bar is meticulously handmade using the finest available ingredients Mother Earth has to offer.
