OUR STORY
What do you get when you mix the world’s finest ingredients, two decades of innovation, and a respect for the tradition of crafting salsa in small batches? You get us – Garden Fresh Gourmet®.
A TASTE OF OUR HISTORY
Jack and Annette Aronson began this journey nearly 20 years ago, when they started making salsa in a five-gallon bucket in the kitchen of their hometown barbeque joint in Ferndale, Michigan. The idea was simple: make products so good, people won’t be able to stop eating them. Today, we not only make America’s #1 refrigerated salsa brand, but also tortilla chips crafted with stone-ground, non-GMO white corn, and an extraordinary line of hummus, dips, and salads!
WE ARE PROUD OF OUR HERITAGE
We’ve grown up a bit since our barbeque joint days, but our goal of making the most irresistible food has not changed. We make the same delicious salsa that became the talk of the town 20 years ago, and we’re continually working to improve our craft. The latest technology, like our high-pressure pasteurization process, preserves the quality of our ingredients and maintains the freshness of our products, helping us deliver our signature great taste. We haven’t forgotten though, that the best products start with the best ingredients, so we are still always looking for that perfectly ripe tomato or that delightfully zesty jalapeno. We are proud of our heritage, our journey, and our award-winning products, but our favorite accomplishment is being invited to your table.
