Our Story
Farmers From the Start
We’re the original organic salad farmer. Born in 1984 on a 2.5 acre backyard farm in Carmel Valley California, Earthbound Farm has grown to become a modern-day leader in the organic food movement.
We stick to what we know best: growing produce that’s not only fresh but also free from GMOs and synthetic pesticides. It’s about respecting the Earth through the use of renewable energy in our agricultural and packaging practices, while also ensuring that these practices sustain the health of the soil and the creatures that pollinate our crops.
Our dedication to innovation means we’re always on the lookout for new ways to deliver the freshest, most flavorful produce to your table, in a manner that nurtures both the planet and our community.
Meanwhile, our roots remain strong. We’re still farmer-and family-owned to this day. You can experience a piece of our heritage at our Farm Stand and Organic Cafe, down the road from our original backyard farm.
Join us on this journey, where together we can make everyday a good day on Earth.
Stewards of the Land
At Earthbound Farm, we are passionate about farming the finest veggies while respecting the ground that feeds us.
By integrating organic and greenhouse farming, these two methods give us more tools to solve the environmental challenges that we face today, while providing a wider variety of the freshest and best tasting veggies for you.
We have continually built upon our Earth-focused practices through creating eco-friendly packaging, leading zero waste and off-the-grid facilities, and creating sustainable and regenerative farms.
Sustainable Packaging
Sustainable Packaging
At Earthbound Farm, our commitment to sustainability extends to every corner of our operations, including how we package our products. We are proud pioneers in sustainable packaging solutions, utilizing 100% recycled plastic material. This not only reduces the demand for new virgin plastic but also ensures that our packaging is part of a circular economy, minimizing our environmental impact. Furthermore, our innovative peel and reseal packaging is designed to significantly cut down on plastic use—by 34-44%. This thoughtful design not only extends the freshness of our produce but also demonstrates our dedication to reducing plastic waste, aligning with our mission to nurture the planet while providing our customers with the highest quality produce.

Regenerative and Organic Farming
Regenerative and Organic Farming
Earthbound Farm celebrates how organic fresh greens and veggies make every day better for you and the Earth. Earthbound Farm’s organic products are all USDA Certified Organic. That means everything we grow and sell is grown in accordance with the National Organic Program’s strict and extensive regulations. By embracing regenerative and organic agriculture, we actively restore soil health, sequester carbon, and foster biodiversity. In partnership with the Xerces Society, we protect crucial pollinators, and regularly deploy aerial drones to distribute beneficial insects. It’s our way of giving back to the planet that feeds us, ensuring that we leave it healthier for future generations.

Greenhouse farming
Greenhouse farming
Complementing our organic efforts, our innovative greenhouse farming adds unique flavor and crunch to the Earthbound product family while farming closer to you than ever before. Our state-of-the-art greenhouse farming techniques allow us to dramatically reduce water and land usage while minimizing the distance our food travels to reach consumers, particularly in the eastern regions of the U.S. This precision agriculture enables us to produce more with less, thus safeguarding natural resources and reducing our environmental impact. As always, our greens are non-GMO, grown without harmful pesticides, and packed with care.

Renewable Energy
Renewable Energy
We believe in powering our journey towards a greener future through the adoption of renewable energy. Our dedication to this cause is evident in every aspect of our operations, from our off-the-grid facilities to our on-farm solar power initiatives. Our on-farm solar power systems capture the sun’s rays, converting them into electricity that powers everything from irrigation systems to the lights in our facilities. This initiative is a testament to our belief in the power of renewable energy to create a sustainable, efficient, and environmentally friendly farming operation.
