Natural Selection Foods was formed in 1995 when the founders of popular organic produce brand Earthbound Farm partnered with 3rd-generation family farmers Mission Ranches. In 1999, Tanimura & Antle, another longtime family-run farming company, became a 1/3 partner in the company.

As the specialty salad pioneer, Natural Selection Foods and its grower-partners have perfected consistent quality and year-round availability of these once-obscure gourmet greens, making them a staple on salad plates everywhere. 

Natural Selection Foods is also the packager and distributor of the popular Earthbound Farm brand of organic produce, baked goods, and beverages.
