With more families looking to improve their eating habits, the need for quick, convenient, healthy food preparation is increasing. Amy Kitchen, a family-owned organic food company, has risen to meet the challenges of the plant-based food movement. The company offers gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, lactose-free, and vegan/plant-based foods. The company is also committed to making its operations environmentally friendly and adding new leadership roles to support its workforce.

Why Amy’s Kitchen

Getting nutritious, family-friendly meals on the table can be a struggle for busy adults, especially parents. Whether consumers are vegan or simply want to include more plants in their diets, they can depend on the company to have the most delicious recipes and high-quality ingredients.

There are many benefits to increasing your plant intake. Amy’s Kitchen conducted a nationwide survey of over 2,000 Americans to gain a better understanding of the reasons for the meatless lifestyle. The company found that most Americans are curious about vegan foods, especially parents, as two-thirds of parents expressed curiosity about vegan food. Consumers expressed a desire to find time-saving solutions for plant-forward dishes. The survey found that nearly 69 percent of parents struggle to find and prepare convenient, healthy plant-based meals for their children.

Amy’s Kitchen Goals

Amy’s Kitchen is a proud, self-sustaining, and Certified B Organization organic food manufacturer that is committed to making a balanced diet delicious, fun, and easy for everyone. The company produces authentic, delicious food using high-quality, organic ingredients meticulously sourced and convenient for consumers. Amy’s Kitchen is one of the top United States retailers of natural/organic products. The company sells packaged and frozen organic foods in over 28 countries worldwide.

Environmentally friendly: Amy’s executive team believes that sustainability is at their operations’ core. The company will purchase wind power from the Sunflower Wind Farm in Marion County, Kansas. This first-of-its-kind Power Purchase Agreement replaces nearly 30 percent of the company’s energy needs with wind power. Taking this action furthers the strategic goal to power its entire operations by 2030 using renewable energy.

Expand Leadership Roles: Amy Kitchen added five new executive and management roles to support the goals and expansion while investing in long-term growth. Amy Kitchen wants to support its over 2500 workers who prepare hundreds of thousands of meals daily by meeting their needs. The company wants to manage and source organic ingredients from a global network of farmers, processors, and manufacturers. The company believes the newly created management roles will help.
