Before the success story came a love story. Anny Metzner from Switzerland and Georg Hipp from Germany met in the canton of Obwalden and fell in love. Each year, Georg and Anny Hipp-Metzner embarked on a pilgrimage to Flüeli-Ranft, the home of St Niklaus von Flüe, just north of Sachseln. They felt a strong connection to this sacred place and the idyllic mountainscapes of Obwalden. In Germany, the Hipp family was making a fortune with baby food. The Hipp-Metzners wanted to support Obwalden as a business location, and in 1954 they launched their first company, Somalon. They appointed the Grisons-based lawyer Dr Caspar Arquint as director. The 3 had been friends for many years.
Dr Arquint made every effort to market the baby food from the company headquarters in Sachseln, but the business struggled. Unfortunately, the Swiss baby food market already had plenty of suppliers. New ideas were needed.
A personal contact with Dr. Edwin Bircher, the son of the inventor of Bircher müesli, inspired Dr. Arquint to create a ready-made version of the product. Of course, the plan could not proceed without consent from the Bircher family. And it gave its consent – with one condition: the müesli must be made from organic products whenever possible. Dr. Arquint agreed, and Somalon received permission to call its mixture ‘organic Bircher müesli’. It was ready to become a pioneer of organic products. The founder of organic farming, Dr Hans Müller, delivered the first organic raw materials to Sachseln.
In a letter, Dr Arquint wrote: ‘We soon started building a little factory in Sachseln, in the heart of Switzerland - on the bank of the lake of Sarnen, surrounded by a magnificently idyllic landscape of mountains. A year later, in the winter of 1958, we processed the first organic apples and grains for our new organic Bircher müesli.’
The first Bircher müesli was launched in 1959 under the brand name ‘familia’. The brand concept was simple: healthy food for the whole family. Barely a year later, the company started exporting its organic Bircher müesli to Germany, Austria, the UK, the Netherlands, and the US.
As the pioneer maker of traditional Swiss muesli bio-familia is proud to continue this tradition of bringing the world wholesome and unique cereal goodness grown in harmony and balance with the land.
The bag inside in which the Müesli is filled is made of high-tech quality material with excellent barrier properties against oxygen and moisture migration, thus fencing off the number one enemies of Müesli. In combination with nitrogen flushing during packing, this bag keeps the Müesli naturally fresh and tasty during the stated BBD and the time prior to the first opening. Additionally, the use of this new state-of-the-art material allows us to significantly reduce packaging material.
bio-familia is on a mission to become climate-positive in the near future. Consequently, the bag inside is climate neutral (certified by MyClimate), which means that the CO2 emissions of the production are offset in several carbon offset projects.
To put it in a nutshell: we continue to deliver the highest Swiss quality with the most efficient and environmentally friendly packaging solution.
