Salinas, California, 5/30/2023 – Harrison Co., an investment banking firm dedicated to advising founder- and family-led businesses, today announced it advised organicgirl LLC (“organicgirl” or the “Company”), the top-rated organic packaged salad brand in the U.S., on its strategic partnership with Arable Capital Partners (“Arable”). Combining organicgirl’s management experience and leadership in the salad category with Arable’s resources and expertise in sustainable food and agribusiness will allow organicgirl to accelerate expansion of its consumer, customer and product bases.

Over the last 16 years, organicgirl has revolutionized the branded salad category, introducing the first premium, organic packaged salad brand that consumers nationwide recognize on shelves and depend on for high-quality leafy greens. The brand ranks first across key shopper metrics and has the lowest rate of promotion in the market as consumers purchase organicgirl over other lower-priced options. organicgirl’s ready-to-eat blends are available in over 15,000 retail stores nationwide.

Bill Harrison, Managing Partner of Harrison Co., commented, “It has been a pleasure working with the long-time U.S. market leader in the organic salad sector. The organicgirl leadership team has successfully created a brand with a sustainable price premium in an otherwise price-driven commoditized category. By prioritizing quality and developing unique management tools, organicgirl is now the sector leader in numerous performance metrics. We look forward to the Company’s continued growth and innovation in the fresh produce category.”
