Introducing FarmToForktm, A New Brand Of Super-Premium Pasta Sauces Rooted In Goodnesstm

MOUNT PROSPECT, Ill., Sept. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The search for a delicious, high-quality pasta sauce with simple, clean-label ingredients, including sourcing sustainably-grown tomatoes from multi-generational family farms, is over with the launch of FarmToForktm, a new brand focused on bringing goodness to the world in every jar. The goodness in FarmToFork stems from the premium ingredients they use, the family farms they partner with and the efforts they initiate to connect local communities to where their food comes from. FarmToFork began hitting shelves throughout Summer 2019 and is now nationally available at most grocery and mass retailers nationwide.

FarmToFork recognizes that when it comes to crafting a premium sauce, each step of the process is as important as the end result. The brand sources its sustainably-grown tomatoes from two multi-generational, family-owned California farms ? Casaca Vineyards and Worth Farms ? with legacies of caring for their tomato crops and the land: "We've been doing this as a family for decades, which has given us a deep-seeded appreciation for what the earth provides," said Chuck Herrin, tomato farmer at Worth Farms. "We respect the land immensely and value like-minded brands like FarmToFork that share our commitment to preservation and integrity in growing and harvesting food."

The new brand is also dedicated to nurturing communities in the same way its farmer partners tend the soil that grows the sauce's vine-ripened tomatoes. FarmToFork launched with a primary focus on an impactful philanthropic partnership, because of a core belief that sauce tastes better when it does good. "At FarmToFork, the goodness we bring to underserved communities extends beyond a donation," said Mitch Cooper, Brand Manager of Stockton Kitchens, the makers of FarmToFork. "That's why we're proud to support Big Green, a national nonprofit organization with local roots, that brings Learning Gardens to low-income schools and their surrounding communities in cities across the U.S."

FarmToFork's partnership with Big Green provides resources to fund hands-on, garden-based education programs, in addition to supporting agricultural education through curriculum involvement and providing business mentorship to students through Big Green's entrepreneurship program, so that the future of our food and our communities is filled with good. "FarmToFork is the perfect partner for Big Green because of our mission synergy," said Tighe Brown, President of Big Green. "When we learned that the brand's approach to creating pasta sauces involves connecting communities to where their food grows, we knew we wanted to be involved, since we believe in the power of real food, food you can trust to nourish the body. This is a part of the foundation of our organization and what we at Big Green are working to integrate into every school across the country."

From tomatoes picked at the peak of ripeness, to fresh garlic, basil and onions, FarmToFork prides itself on making clean-label sauces that bring the best in thoughtful ingredients straight to your fork. All FarmToFork Pasta Sauces are non-GMO and contain NO tomato paste, NO added sugars and NO artificial colors or flavors.
