I didn’t expect to start a business with my mom. But in 2016, in her early 60s and living in Ojai, she had an idea that was too good — and too important — to ignore.

She remembered how her grandmother used to tuck fresh-picked greens next to damp laundry to keep them crisp before fridges were common. It was a small, intuitive act — but it stuck with her. Years later, she started wondering why we’d traded that kind of care for plastic bags and waste.

So she sewed the first Ambrosia Bag. I joined soon after, and together we’ve been building something rooted in that same intention: that how we care for our food, and our planet, matters.

Today, Ambrosia is still based in Ojai. Our bags are made by hand in Los Angeles by artisans earning fair wages. We work closely with reforestation and food justice organizations because we believe sustainability shouldn’t stop at the product — it should ripple outward.

My mom’s early idea turned into something much bigger than a produce bag. It’s about making small, thoughtful choices that feel good in your hands and do good in the world.

Thanks for being part of the story.

Through our partnership with EcoDrive, every Ambrosia purchase plants a tree — helping offset the full carbon footprint of the bag-making journey, from the flax fields to your fridge.

And when you leave a verified review? We plant another tree, just to say thanks.
