The CCOF family is ever-growing and we are extremely proud of our organic farmers and producers working to make the world a better place! Each new member brings CCOF closer to its mission to make organic the norm. 

We would like to highlight a couple of newly certified organic operations who have joined the CCOF family, Bare Sprouts and 12 Tides. As mission-driven operations, these young companies are creating positive change through what we eat. 

We look forward to years of partnership and success with each!

Bare Sprouts

Bare Sprouts is an indoor sprout farm located in Tempe, Arizona, the only organic sprout grower in the state! Their mission statement describes them best: “We exist to inspire communities to a healthy living by delivering fresh, crisp, and nutrient packed organic sprouts at every harvest while promoting a sustainable vision of the future of urban agriculture.”  

Plagued by medical issues in his college years, co-founder Brennan Ursu was inspired to pursue greater health through food and found some remarkable solutions. Broccoli sprouts, the backbone of their operation, are one of the healthiest and most studied superfood on the planet with incredible anti-aging properties that are unparalleled. Bare Sprouts implement advanced technology to grow the most delicious, safest, and environmentally friendly sprouts they can.

  • Champion regenerative ocean foods and support regenerative farmers
