Jr. Accountant

Our Mission

We believe that eating more fruit and vegetables is the simplest way for people to enjoy longer, healthier lives. It’s good for the planet, too. By finding more convenient, affordable and sustainable ways to bring fruits and vegetables to everyone, we increase their consumption, reduce food loss and waste, and point the food industry towards more responsible choices.

How We Do It

Just 1 in 10 US adults eats the recommended minimum of 5 cups of fruits and vegetables every day. We're helping solve that problem with convenient, organic, and mouth-watering products. We transform fresh, organic fruits and veggies into handy single-serving meal moments such as instant smoothies, delicious fruit snacks, fruity oats, protein drinks, and iced-lattes, and more to come!
