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’ve expanded our line to bring many more health-enhancing foods to the masses, harnessing the nutritional power of plants. And today, we are an organic industry leader staying true to our original commitments: to share ancient, indigenous foods; to support causes that help reduce environmental burden; and to improve social and worker justice through ethical and regenerative agricultural practices.
