The seed of Earthbound Farm began in 1984 as a two-and-a-half-acre raspberry farm on California's Central Coast. Founders Myra and Drew Goodman"city kids" from Manhattan who had just graduated from collegewere looking for something different to do before they moved on to "real" careers. They had no idea that their modest, backyard enterprisenurtured by hard physical work, creative marketing, and a little serendipitywould grow to be North America's largest grower of organic produce.
