Company description Back to the Roots is a rapidly emerging organic food company that is dedicated to the movement of making food personal again and reconnecting families to what they eat! 

What started as curiosity about urban farming has turned into a passion for “undoing food” and reconnecting families to it through fun, delicious and sustainable “ready to grow” and “ready to eat” products. Check them out here!

Whether you’re growing your own food or buying it at the grocery store, we believe
the trust and transparency behind each product should be the same. With ingredients from the kitchen, not a lab, our Ready to Grow and Ready to Eat products go beyond organic and bring great taste, discovery, and fun back into the kitchen & classroom.

 

We hope you join us & the Back to the Roots family as we work to Undo Food and connect back to where it comes from.

Back to the Roots is a Certified B Corp.
