State Garden: A growing family of fresh makers
State Garden believes that family and freshness can make a difference in people’s lives. It's a fourth-generation family business committed to helping all families eat better and live better.
From its farmers’ fields to market shelves and kitchen tables, its growing family of brands makes its customers, consumers and communities healthier and happier.
With roots that trace back to 1938 as a produce cart in Boston’s North End, today it is a leading supplier of organic, conventional and greenhouse-grown tender leaf lettuce, spinach, celery hearts and more in the Northeast and beyond. Its brand portfolio includes Olivia’s Organics, Locally Known, Northeast Fresh and private label offerings.
As it looks ahead, the company has so much to be proud of and thankful for this year — 2025 marks the 20th anniversary of its beloved Olivia’s Organics brand!
As a pioneer in the organic space that quickly became the fastest-growing salad brand, Olivia’s Organics continually innovates to deliver the freshest, most delicious organic tender leaf salads, blends and more. Today it is the No.1 organic salad brand in the Northeast with a deeply held commitment to giving back. That’s why a portion of its proceeds goes directly to the Olivia’s Organics Children’s Foundation, supporting the work of deserving local organizations.
This year also marks the rollout of Locally Known, its latest brand offering, combining innovative greenhouse-grown greens with artisanal field blends to deliver unbeatable taste and crunch. With five exciting blends like Sweet Baby Crunch and Baby Arugula, this launch answers the rising demand for better texture and taste in everyday greens!
"We remain delighted that Northeast Fresh continues to fill a critical need for conventional offerings in the markets we serve," the company said. "For decades, consumers have counted on us to deliver fresh, healthy, and delicious blends, cooking greens and celery."
And when it comes to private label offerings, the company offers a wide range of private label solutions for greens, salad kits and cut butternut squash and celery hearts that retail partners have come to rely on. State Garden has conventional, organic and greenhouse products that match a variety of consumer tastes and preferences.
"At State Garden, we’ve always been about more than offering products that taste good," the company said. "For us it’s about doing good by the communities, farmers and families who depend on us."
