Multiple Organics Competitors

Whole Foods was founded in 1980 on the belief that where food comes from, and how it’s grown, matters. It meant creating quality standards, working with suppliers who achieve them, and sharing that information with our customers. And it radically changed the way people understood and shopped for food. The result has been the highest quality natural and organic products, an unmatched experience in more than 500+ stores, with a passionate team of over 90,000 team members, 5 percent of our total net profits given back to our communities each year, and millions of customers who put their trust in us every day.

Guilt-free chocolate doesn’t exist…right? Maybe—but with 16 grams of protein and 40% of your daily calcium, Breakfast Balance Dark Chocolate comes pretty close. We use only pasture-raised organic milk and fair trade ingredients, so while you’re doing something good for your body, you’re also doing something for local economies and the environment.

A pioneer of the organic foods movement, Amy's started over 30 years ago with a simple mission to make good food for everyone at the table. Andy and Rachel Berliner started the company in their California farmhouse kitchen in 1987, and they named it after their newborn daughter, Amy. Their first product was a vegetable pot pie with a flaky, homestyle crust. Today, we are still family-owned, but we now make more than 250 products, and we sell our homestyle foods in over 23 different countries. Amy's employs over 2,700 people with headquarters in Petaluma, California and manufacturing facilities in Santa Rosa, CA; San Jose, CA; Medford, OR; and Pocatello, ID.
