Califia Farms

Inspired by the bounty of California, Califia Farms (pronounced “Cal-uh-FEE-ahh,” like California) is on a mission to nourish the world with the wisdom of a plant-based lifestyle. The company was named the 2021 Beverage Forum Small Company of the Year (< $1 billion in revenue); 2017 Supplier of the Year by Whole Foods Market; a 2015 “Breakout Brand” by Beverage World; and BevNet's 2015 "Brand of the Year." Califia Farms creates innovative, healthy and great-tasting premium beverages that make it easy for consumers to go plant-based and dairy-free, without compromise. It is one of the fastest-growing natural beverage companies in the U.S., as well as the #1 plant-based dairy alternative brand in the natural channel. The company's range spans plant milks, creamers, barista blends, creamy refreshers, coffees and teas, kitchen companions and seasonal items, made from oat, almond, coconut and soy as well as blends of these. Its coffee line includes cold brews, iced coffees and matcha drinks intended for making café-style beverages at home. Products are sold in retail stores and through online retailers.

Founded in 2010 by beverage visionary, Greg Steltenpohl, in partnership with a farmer's co-op based in the San Joaquin Valley, Califia Farms is a uniquely California company. Its Bakersfield, Calif. manufacturing plant is powered by renewable energy and re-purposes more than 90% of its post-production byproduct. Califia Farms began with juices before expanding into plant-based milks, creamers, coffees and culinary items. The name refers to the legend of Queen Califia, and the company describes its distinctive curvy bottle as what it is best known for. Its sustainability work centers on resilient agriculture, the circular economy, climate solutions and support for people and communities.
