Amy’s Kitchen Supports Employees and Uses Sustainable Practices

Amy’s Kitchen started as a home-based business in 1988 and grew into a commercial business. The family rented or leased commercial kitchens to produce their vegetarian entrees and eventually in March 2006 built their own kitchen. They were ranked as the 10th best companies to work for in 2023 out of 100 large companies by the San Francisco Business Times and Silicon Valley Business Journal.

The company’s focus is on food and family. One goal they had was to put their daughter through college. Later they decided they wanted to help their employees do the same. Currently, they have given away 1,400 scholarships to employees who have children. The company has donated over 1.5 million to students. Some students later work at the company as staff.

They offer employees health care benefits with special medical clinics that focus on medical conditions and wellness and lifestyle. The clinics are bilingual and free to employees. They invest in diversity and training employees for jobs by providing training and education.

The company works with local farmers and suppliers looking for the best quality produce and other ingredients. The company has invested in developing recyclable and compostable packaging for their products. They use regenerative farming to grow their food which uses no synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.

Amy’s Kitchen surveyed over 2,000 Americans using their Kitchen Survey to learn why they choose vegetarian food. The survey revealed that more consumers are curious about vegetarian food. Families want to prepare healthier meals that are easy to make. Amy’s Kitchen makes prepared meals that are healthy and nutritious.

The survey revealed many American have food restriction and allergies. This has led to a demand for vegetarian, gluten free and foods free from GMO. The company does not use any eggs, meat, fish, peanuts, or shellfish in their recipes. These are some of the reasons the company is very successful.
