The Laflamme Family
Pete & Gerry’s Organic Eggs
When predatory factory farms tried to run the family farm out of business, the Laflamme family turned to organic as a way to survive. Twenty-five years later, one of the first organic egg farms in the country is now also the largest organic egg brand in the country. But Pete and Gerry’s Organic hasn’t done that by becoming a factory farm themselves. They’ve done it by partnering with dozens of other small farms like themselves instead.

Arnold Coombs
Coombs Family Farms
Arnold Coombs is the seventh generation of the Coombs family to practice the craft of sugaring. His first stop after coming home from the hospital as a newborn wasn’t a crib – it was the sugarhouse where his father was boiling down the sap into maple syrup. Not surprisingly, Arnold was tapping Maple trees himself by the time he was eight. Today, as the head of Coombs Family Farms, Arnold is one of the maple industry’s greatest advocates for sustainable and organic maple farmers. He also likes to sell a bit of maple!

Back To The Roots
In a college class, we learned mushrooms could grow entirely on spent coffee grounds. After watching hours of how-to videos and turning our fraternity kitchen into a big science experiment, we eventually decided to give up our corporate job offers to instead become full-time mushroom farmers. What started as curiosity about urban farming has turned into a passion to Undo Food™ and reconnect families back to where it comes from through fun and delicious ready to grow and ready to eat products.
