Emerald Valley Kitchen, an Oregon-based manufacturer of organic salsa, bean dips and hummus has been an award-winning socially responsible small business and leader in the organic food industry for over 20 years. Founder, Mel Bankoff, started the company in 1983 with $125 in supplies and a desire to make healthy, delicious organic food. With his slow-growth approach and commitment to sustainability, Emerald Valley Kitchen not only succeeded as a business, but helped pioneer the natural food movement in the U.S. In 2002, Mel sold Emerald Valley Kitchen to Monterey Gourmet Foods, a California-based manufacturer of gourmet pasta and sauces. With an eye on the fast paced growth of organics, Monterey Gourmet Foods was interested in finding a partner best suited for long term growth that could expand in other categories. Importantly, the partnership allows for stronger promotion of Emerald Valley Kitchen products. Emerald Valley Kitchen continues to operate in Eugene as it has done for over 2 decades - maintaining its commitment to environmental sustainability and donation of 1% of its yearly revenues to ecological and humanitarian projects. Emerald Valley Kitchen also continues its mission of supporting organic farming practices and educating the public of its importance. All foods produced by Emerald Valley Kitchen are additive and preservative free and certified organic, which means that their products have the highest quality and maximum amount of organic ingredients available. Emerald Valley Kitchen has been the recipient of numerous awards for social responsibility. Some of these include the Socially Responsible Business Award presented at Natural Products Expo, the Community Applause Award presented by the Oregon Bankers Association and the Independent Community Banks of Oregon for outstanding community involvement, and the Annual Green Business of the Year Award presented by The Green Book, an annual guide to Southern Oregon and Northern Californias green businesses (www.bizwithheart.com). Mel is also a founder of the Willamette Valley Business Alliance (WVBA) and the Institute for Sustainable Ethics and Economics (ISEE) (www.iseeinfo.net) which work with business and the community to create a sustainable future. This includes promotion of The Natural Step (TNS) program (www.naturalstep.org) and Allan Savorys Holistic Management approach (www.holisticmanagement.org).
