The story of
My name is Luke Wolters and I'm the founder of FREEBAR. I've been living with severe allergies leading to anaphylaxis since I was born in 1985. I was born allergic to ALL nuts, wheat, eggs, dairy and too many other things to list. When I was younger, my family struggled with finding food that was safe, as allergies at the time were a new thing, and the severity wasn't widely known as it is today. It was tough, and now people are more educated and excepting of those with allergies than ever before.
​
A few years ago, I was travelling to Moab Utah, a mecca for mountain biking. When we got there, we explored the town. We visited a store that had literally hundreds of different energy bars, and not one of them fitting the combination of peanut/nut, dairy and gluten free! Instead of getting angry and upset that I couldn't find anything I thought there was a great opportunity to help others with great tasting and energy packed bar.
​
I'm happy to share that I've created an energy bar for those of us with allergies that taste amazing and give you the energy you need to enjoy your adventure.
