How it does good
Native Forest has been in the sustainable farming game for over 45 years. They pride themselves on doing their best. And they know that if you're buying ethically, you're doing all you can to support the planet, too. But they also want people to know that choosing plant-based products doesn't necessarily mean that it's cruelty-free. In fact, a lot of the coconut milk we buy (to avoid dairy) is harvested through monkey abuse. That's why Native Forest has committed to changing this practice. Verified by PETA and certified organic, they support 15 source countries in improving their sustainability and reducing their carbon footprint. They're fully transparent in selecting farmers and packers who utilize environmentally-safe pest management, drought-resistant, organic crops, and BPA-free packaging. Their goal? A safer supply chain, and ethical foods you can feel good about buying.

Native Forest
Joel Dee founded Edward & Sons in 1978 with a goal to provide delicious and convenient vegetarian foods crafted solely from familiar and wholesome ingredients. He drove throughout the USA towing his home (an Airstream trailer) behind him, sampling and selling his first products to health food stores and distributors along the way. In 1999, they created their Native Forest brand which carries delicious, ethically sourced, organic coconut milk, fruits, and vegetables.
