WE ARE BAREBONES

COOKING OVER AN OPEN FIRE. NATURE-CENTERED FOOD. COMMUNITY EXPERIENCES.
Barebones is all about your food. Literally and figuratively. And with soul. We're about food, nature and the primal pull of fire - and we provide the inspiration, products and guidance so you can enjoy it all. Creating community and making connections: with the moment, with other people, and with the food on your plate. Create relationships. Showing reverence. Allowing change to happen. By the fire as under the stars. Join us in creating something that changes everything.
Barebones' story is full of philanthropic work and continues to help lift people out of poverty by giving them basic skills, education and tools. The first product the Barebones team ever developed was a modern emergency shelter provided to disadvantaged communities as well as in disaster relief efforts, and it continues to excel. These simple shelters ("bare-bones shelters") actively provide people in countries around the world with the shelter they desperately need. Barebones has evolved from its philanthropic roots, but continues the humanitarian efforts and "do good" philosophy on which it was founded.
 

OUR FOUNDER'S VISION

""When you do good from the heart, something magical happens, and that goodness comes right back.""
Robert Workman has spent his career finding ways to give back: From the beginning with his first philanthropic endeavor, a nonprofit called Tiefie that helped people on the margins of society meet basic needs, to Goal Zero, a company that started as a provider of solar panels in the Congo and now operates in many places around the world. In recent years, Robert has returned to his agricultural roots, building barebones and developing products that help people connect with food, nature and the primal pull of fire. In this way, people are more in tune with Mother Nature and enjoy helping others do the same.
 

THE IMPACT OF SUSTAINABILITY

Barebones is a certified B Corporation. We meet the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability. We focus on long-term solutions with a positive impact on our employees, our community and the world. We are constantly evolving our sustainability philosophy and working hard to exceed set goals and metrics for waste reduction and minimizing environmental impact. Our latest goal is to remove all single-use plastics from our carton packs and master packs. 
 

THE CULTURE OF "GIVING BACK"

Giving back is an important element and a matter of the heart of our corporate culture. Each year, our employees spend a week volunteering for a non-profit organization of their choice and on-site at Roots Charter High School in Utah. Barebones believes that communities can thrive both locally and internationally when the proper resources are available. That is the mindset behind this generous donation of time, energy, knowledge and products to benefit communities near and far.
