Amazing Grass was founded in 2002 in San Francisco by Brandon Bert and Todd Habermehl, who left their corporate jobs to launch organic functional foods sourced from Brandon’s family farm.

For over 60 years, the family farm in Kansas has perfected the growing, harvesting, dehydration and storage of organic alfalfa and cereal grasses - ensuring the highest nutritional value of the world’s most nutrient dense Green SuperFoods.
The company is fast paced and growing quickly. Starting with only one item a decade ago, the product line now includes over 150 items. In addition to an impressive growth rate, the company enjoys very strong relationships with both retailers and consumers. Unsolicited and unfiltered endorsements of our products can be found on many internet sites. We are also inspired by the daily emails from satisfied consumers who share their story of how the nutrition from our products has improved their lives.
