The Origins of Portlandia Foods
Back in 2010, Jeff Bergadine and Michael Deal saw an opportunity to disrupt the usual condiment scene. They dreamed of something better—healthier, sustainable, and affordable. Their first big hit was an organic ketchup that cut down on sugar and salt but kept the flavor bold and savory. It didn’t take long for foodies and critics to take notice. Two years later, they introduced Portland Organic Mustard, the perfect partner to their ketchup. This dynamic duo helped Portlandia Foods carve out a spot in the condiment world.
Why Organic Condiments Matter
Let’s face it, most condiments out there are loaded with corn syrup and salt. Portlandia Foods isn’t having it. They believe everyone deserves better standards. By working closely with local distributors and organic farmers, they ensure their products are not just tasty but also responsible. Their commitment to organic certification and sustainable practices means you’re getting condiments that respect your health and the planet.
