Growing the Organic Eating Revolution
OGC co-founders, community allies and friends gathered to cut a garlic braid, commemorating the opening of the company’s first facility in Eugene in 1983.
We’re on a mission to promote and inspire the growth of the organic agriculture movement.
We use our business to champion organic agriculture and keep sustainable farms of all sizes in production because organic is the answer to healthy carbon-absorbing soil, a healthy planet, and healthy people.
With hands in the soil, Organically Grown Company was founded back in 1978. It was a company built on the belief that organic food is simply the best way to nourish people while protecting the planet.
Being an organic farmer and getting fresh produce to market can be a challenge. But it’s important work, work that sparked our business and is what keeps us going today.
Today, we’re the nation’s only trust-owned and largest wholesale distributor of organic fresh produce, supporting farms big and small.
We are proud of our roots and are proud to be fully committed to a sustainable future. You can see our commitment in action every day. It’s visible in how we care about our coworkers, in how we support organic growers, and in our Ladybug Brand™, how we use energy efficient transportation and in how we give back to the communities we serve.
Making the world a better place, one organic produce delivery at a time.

We’re using business to serve our mission and stakeholder community into perpetuity.
In 2018, we pioneered a strategic ownership structure to set the company up for success for generations to come. In doing this, we committed to continuing our legacy as a change leader in the organic industry and launched the Sustainable Food & Agriculture Perpetual Purpose Trust. Learn about this alternative ownership model that sets OGC apart and paves the way for others in the organic trade.
