About Off The Farm Foods
David and Gary Thomas discovered the joys of combiningentrepreneurship and agriculture as a young boys in rural Ohio. The brothers would sellfruits and vegetables from their back yard garden and small orchard at a stand theirfather set up on the sidewalk in front of their house. This early exposure to fresh foodshas inspired them throughout their culinary careers. When the family moved to Californiathe brothers worked in the family restaurant and were further influenced by the bountiful harvest of the farms and orchards in the San Joaquin Valley. The passion for eating highquality fresh foods led them to frequently develop better quality and better tastingfunctional foods. One of the recipes that was always a favorite with friends and family were the energy bars made from premium ingredients purchased at the local farmers
markets like whole Blueberries, sun dried Bing Cherries and fresh roasted Almonds.
After years of working in restaurants and local food distribution, they both decided to quit
their jobs and pursue their passion for fusing farm fresh quality into functional foods. In
early 2009 from a small rented commercial kitchen in Santa Clara California, the two
brothers started “Off The Farm Foods†by making premium fruit nut and grain bars to sell
at local stores. They started out in San Francisco by selling directly to neighborhood
markets and cafés. Soon the bars were selling in hundreds of locations and demand
caused them to need to move closer to family just to help keep up with production.
Relocation to San Luis Obispo California has seen the small family owned company
continue to grow and you can find “Off The Farm “ bars in hundreds of locations in
California and beyond.
We believe getting your energy from natural foods tastes better because it is better! As
chefs we are passionate about healthy foods and are always seeking out premium natural
ingredients to use in our products. We started by using fruits and nuts sourced from the
bounty of the San Joaquin valley in California through the local farmers markets. We do
not use powders, additives or supplements to deliver nutrition. Our ingredients are “off
the farmâ€!
Our mission is to bring the amazing experience and excellent taste of high quality foods
from farmers to everyone who appreciates them. Giving back to the community by
supporting organizations that educate children about sustainable farming is at the heart of
everything we do. We want all children to be blessed with the life changing experience of
knowing where their food comes from and how important local farms are in the world
today.
We believe eating exceptional foods from the natural bounty in our land is a gift to be
experienced by everyone. It is a great joy for us to be a part of bringing this gift to you!
