Pioneers Heritage Collection
The organic movement began in the soil. Pioneers like J.I. Rodale, who championed organic farming in the 1940s, and Eliot Coleman, who innovated year-round organic methods, proved that farming could restore the health of the soil and the planet. They laid the groundwork - now our team has created the Pioneers Heritage Collection to honor the brands who carried that vision from farm to family.
To earn a place in this collection, each brand had to meet exacting standards: they must have been among the first to bring their category to organic certification, demonstrated unwavering commitment to organic integrity even when it was commercially difficult, and created lasting impact that made organic food accessible to everyday Americans. These are not simply brands that joined the movement - they are the forces that built the organic food industry itself.
These thirty-three brands span 111 years of history from Bragg in 1912 to today's innovators. They are the reasons you can walk into any store and find organic options. Together, they refused to compromise when compromise was easier. Together, they cover every corner of your life - from breakfast to cleaning, from baby's first food to your evening meal.
This is the collective power of the true pioneers, curated by Maras Green, chosen by you.
