80 Acres Farms Expands with Acquisition of Mother Raw Salad Dressing Business

80 Acres Farms, a pioneering vertical farming company based in Hamilton, Ohio, has announced its acquisition of the Mother Raw premium salad dressing business from Reunion Foods Inc., a move set to enhance the company's operational efficiency and enable future growth. This acquisition is a strategic step following the successful collaboration between the two companies, which began in 2022 when 80 Acres Farms introduced its salad kits featuring Mother Raw dressings. The integration of Mother Raw into 80 Acres Farms will allow for in-house development of salad dressings, streamlining operations and fostering innovation within the company's burgeoning national market presence.

The partnership with Reunion Foods was driven by a mutual commitment to providing fresh, healthy food without compromising taste. Mother Raw's inclusion in 80 Acres Farms' salad kits has facilitated the brand's expansion to over 1,000 retail locations across the eastern United States. Mike Zelkind, co-founder and CEO of 80 Acres Farms, expressed enthusiasm for the acquisition, citing the shared values and goals between the companies. Kristi Knowles, CEO of Reunion Foods, also voiced support for the transition, highlighting the aligned visions of both teams. Launched in 2019, Mother Raw has quickly established itself as a noteworthy brand in the clean-label food space.
