Amy’s Kitchen was founded in 1987 by Andy and Rachel Berliner based on their belief in organic, healthful foods and their interest making delicious, convenient vegetarian meals for themselves and other busy families.

 

Having invented the natural foods category, the little family business which begun in a converted barn on a Sonoma County ranch and named after the couples newborn baby girl, has become the industry leader, offering over 120 natural and organic products and dishing up 5 million meals each month. Vegetarians aren’t the only ones who enjoy Amy’s Kitchen meals; millions of families, students, workers and children do too.

 

Amy’s Kitchen offers frozen entrées, pot pies, whole meals, bowls, pizzas, burgers, snacks, pocket sandwiches, burritos and toaster pops. In July 1999, the company introduced a grocery line that now includes canned soups, beans and chili, as well as jarred pasta sauces and salsa.

 

Many of the products are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan or low-fat. Amy’s has been introducing many of the best-selling products in a Light in Sodium version to aid those watching their sodium in-take. Most of Amy’s Kitchen’s products are microwaveable and many come in single-serve portions, including the best selling pizzas.

 

Amy’s Kitchen uses certified organic ingredients, including vegetables, grains and fruits grown without pesticides. Fats are used sparingly and selectively; dairy products are made with pasteurized rBST hormone-free milk and do not contain animal enzymes or rennet. No dishes contain meat, fish, poultry or eggs. Amy's products are non-GMO and do not contain hydrogenated fats or oils.
