Califia Farms, based in California, produces plant-based alternatives to dairy products. They predominantly make almond-based products but many of them also have oat and coconut in.

The company, along with founder Greg Steltenpohl, believe that by having a plant-based diet you can improve your health, alleviate climate change, safeguard ecosystems, protect animals and help solve world hunger. They are providing plant-based products to help people transform their diet and get nourishment from plants.

We stand with Califia Farms and their mission for a more plant-based world. We’re excited to see what they achieve next and how they drive their mission forward.
