About the BrandAnnies Homegrown is a good company with good people that makes good food and does good stuff. From the beginning, Annie impressed upon us the necessity of operating responsibly by giving back to the community. Because if you dont take care of the folks who are taking care of you, everything gets ugly. And anyone who thinks an ugly planet is a healthy planet is a wackadoo. Annies motto: Eat Responsibly. Act Responsibly.Annies Homegrown has stayed committed to its goals even as the company has expanded. With distribution in all 50 states, its become the second-largest brand of macaroni and cheese in the U.S. And in their own words: We know were the first most delicious.History of Annies HomegrownAfter creating Smartfood in 1982, one of the fastest-selling snack food products in U.S. history, Annie Withey co-founded Annies Homegrown in 1989 with the idea of making a great-tasting, all-natural macaroni and cheese. In the end, though, she did a lot more than that.In 1998, Annies Homegrown was the first to develop and introduce three amazing kinds of organic macaroni and cheese. At the end of 2001, Annies introduced a line of certified organic pasta, dressed up in a lovely bright purple box. And in 2005, Annies introduced three flavors of Deluxe Mac and Cheese, four awesome flavors of organic crackers that they call Cheddar Bunnies, and three flavors of graham crackers called Bunny Grahams, made with organic ingredients.Annie continues to be the inspirational leader of Annies.
