Spinaca Farms, Inc

Spinaca Farms was founded by farming veterans Rick and Jeannette Andrade with a few industry partners in 2001 on 40 acres of virgin farm ground in Paso Robles, CA. Recognizing the strength of the partnership in its ability to yield fresh year-round produce, the Andrades brought on their son Zack, fresh with a BS in Agribusiness from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, to expand their operation in 2004. Coupled with a reputation for quality produce and professional service, Spinaca Farms soon established themselves as a year-round supplier for national brands such as Earthbound Farm, Fresh Express, Taylor Farms, Classic Salads, eventually culminating in the launch of La Colline, their fresh market line of organic produce, in 2014. Today, Spinaca Farms grows, packs and procures both conventional and certified organic produce for the fresh market and has just launched their Root to Shoot program that leverages our modern food production system by turning beneficial but overlooked portions of the plant into nutrient-rich powders, purees, and juices to boost meal replacement mixes, protein bars, pet food, sports drinks and more for the global functional foods market.
