Good Sam are a group of entrepreneurs, industry vets, dreamers, doers and activists. GoodSam Foods is centered around their humanness and willingness to take care of Mother Earth. We must not live only for ourselves, but for the planet and our fellow humans, too.

Good Sam’s name stems from the parable of the Good Samaritan (though we are not associated with any religious denomination as a company). In the parable, a man is traveling and is robbed. He is stripped of everything he has. Many people walk by him, not unable but unwilling to help, until a Samaritan does and it makes all the difference. For us, at GoodSam, the traveler is the farmer and the soil, big agriculture and big food are the passersby who are not unable, but unwilling to do anything despite seeing another human and the planet suffer and the Good Samaritans are those of us who stop, see and are willing to change our behaviors to make impact.

GoodSam believe three things: Food that’s good for you, good for farmers and good for the planet. Good Sam believe that everyone should make a living wage and have a good quality of life. Good Sam believe in the quality of the soil and the farm practices that keep farms thriving for generations to come. And Good Sam believe that when you open a bag for a snack, you shouldn’t have to wonder if the company you are spending your money with is doing the right thing.
