HAMILTON, Ohio, March 19, 2024 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - 80 Acres Farms has completed the acquisition of the Mother Raw salad dressing line from Toronto-based Reunion Foods Inc. This acquisition follows a partnership initiated in 2022, where Mother Raw dressings were incorporated into 80 Acres Farms' salad kits, which have since expanded to over 1,000 retailers across the eastern United States.

"Working closely with Mother Raw, we fell in love with their people, their products, and their commitment to fresh, healthy ingredients," said Mike Zelkind, co-founder and CEO of 80 Acres Farms. He elaborated on the acquisition's strategic importance, stating, "Through vertical integration, the acquisition will streamline operations, expedite innovation, and equip us as we grow our national footprint."

According to a company press release, the integration of Mother Raw into 80 Acres Farms' operations is anticipated to enhance the company's efficiency and innovation in salad dressing production. The move aligns with 80 Acres Farms' mission to provide fresh, healthy food options and is expected to facilitate the expansion of its salad kit product line. The company plans to develop dressings in-house, utilizing ingredients from its precision-controlled farms, and will relocate the operation to one of its Hamilton locations.

Kristi Knowles, CEO of Reunion Foods Inc., expressed confidence in the transition, stating, "We are thrilled to know our beloved brand is in the hands of an incredible team with an aligned purpose and will continue to thrive in the U.S. market under their leadership."
