Washington-based sustainable food and agribusiness investor Arable Capital Partners LLC has confirmed a strategic investment in Organicgirl LLC, according to a news release.
This would bring Arable’s current platform investments to five companies, including Blazer Wilkinson Gee, Laurel AG & Water, Pacific Trellis Fruit and Royal Ridge Fruits.
A branded organic packaged salad company, Organicgirl is headquartered in Salinas, Calif., and ships to retailers nationwide.
“This is exactly the sort of company we want to partner with. Organicgirl has already delivered on a big vision for packaged organic salads and we look forward to supporting expansion with its consumer, customer, and product base,” Derek Yurosek, managing director of Arable Capital Partners, said in the release.
