Ciranda celebrates 25 years of organic ingredient supply
It is with immense gratitude and celebration that Ciranda, Inc. announces 25 years in business—and 25 years of organic ingredients! Since its founding, the company has stayed true to its mission of expanding the organic industry, while supporting sustainable agriculture practices and the livelihood of farmers around the world.
Ciranda introduced itself as an organic export business in 1994. Founders Hans and Joan Friese built strong relationships with U.S. farmers and purchased their grains, beans and seeds to export into the more established European organic market. As the U.S. organic market began to take shape in 2000 with an approaching federal regulatory program, the company reinvented itself as an importer of value-add ingredients to service North American clients.
