About the Employer

We are in 22 farmers markets and growing throughout California. Our mission is to transform the planet one gut at a time. We believe that food is medicine, therefore it should be offered not just for profits, but rather be served in the purest quality form. We are a socially responsible company - some of our profits go to Nourishing Generations, a non profit organization that teaches underprivileged children and troubled teenagers how to make healthy foods. We believe that small businesses can make a difference in their local community by supporting local non-profit organizations.
