Our Mission is Simple
We are committed to creating a healthier world through regenerative organic farming and plant-forward lifestyles.How We Do This



Navitas Organics: Cultivating Goodness
Navitas (Nuh-vee-tus) is Latin for “energy.” We dedicate our energy to sourcing the most ethically grown, powerfully nutritious plant-based superfoods to give you the energy you need to thrive. Our devotion to regenerative organic agriculture and plant-based nutrition has been a hallmark of our company since day one (way back in 2003!). We wholeheartedly believe that maintaining a plant-forward diet is one of the best things we can do for the health and longevity of our bodies and our planet—and we’re using our business to help make that happen.


We are a Certified B Corporation®
As a B-Corp organization, our most important stakeholders are the planet and the people. At Navitas Organics we aspire to use the power of our business model to alleviate social and environmental problems we face today. Learn more about what it means to be a Certified B Corporation.

Quality Matters
We are known to be a bit obsessive about quality around here, but you don’t have to take our word for it. We run the gauntlet of rigorous third-party certifications and testing processes because we want to ensure top notch quality, efficacy and safety in our foods. Here are some of the certifications you’ll see on our packaging.
Organic is in our name, and organic is our game. We only source organic ingredients because it’s simply the best for your health and the environment. No pesticides, GMO’s or other toxic byproducts are used to grow or create our foods. Ever.

We believe in clean cultivation of our foods and ingredients, and that means avoiding all genetically modified organisms, or GMO's. GMO's are not allowed in any food product that is certified organic, so with our USDA Organic certification, you can be assured our foods are also non-GMO.

At Navitas Organics, we want to change the status quo for small shareholder farmers around the world. We aim to help address the growing inequality in the world’s farming communities by supporting sustainable, fair and safe farming practices through Fairtrade America

While all of our single ingredient superfoods are naturally gluten-free, we certify most of our snacks gluten free to ensure safety for anyone with gluten sensitivities to snack freely without worry of contamination.

All of our foods are vegan. We partner with Vegan Verified to certify our foods as free from animal products and support a system that promotes animal welfare and human health.

Many of our foods are certified Kosher through Earth Kosher for those with this specific dietary requirement.




The Navitas Organics Origin Story
In 2003, curiosity about ancient cultures and the wisdom of traditional foods led founder Zach Adelman to a special collaboration with a small farmer cooperative in the altitudes of the Peruvian Andes. Through this partnership, Zach brought the wondrous health benefits of maca to the United States and thus, Navitas Naturals (now known as Navitas Organics) was born. In partnership with his wife, Meghan Adelman, the two built Navitas Organics to share their vision of building health and wellness for people and planet through nutritious food and organic farming at the core of the business.
Since 2003, we expanded our line to bring many more health-enhancing foods harnessing the power of plants to the masses. And today, we are an organic industry leader staying true to our commitment to share ancient, indigenous foods. Driven by the Adelmans’ vision, we continue our commitment to support causes that help reduce environmental burden and improve social and worker justice through ethical and regenerative agricultural practices.
“We uphold our promise of sourcing the best organic superfoods the world has to offer. Our passion is sharing these global treasures and living life positive as we do it.” Zach Adelman, Founder and CEO
