We Choose Organic

Scott Nash started MOM’s at the age of 22 with an initial investment of $100 as a home delivery business out of his mom’s garage. On July 2nd 1987, MOM’s made its first sale delivering to a customer who lived in Rockville, MD.

In 1989 after a 60 Minutes report about alar on apples, NPR’s Diane Rehm did a show on organic foods. A MOM’s customer from Vienna, VA called in and gave a raving on-air testimony about how our vegetables ”were the best I’ve ever had.” The phone rang off the hook for hours!

After 3 decades, MOM’s has stores in five states and DC, employs 1,000+ people, and has created a culture centered on Our Purpose, "to protect and restore the environment".

Note: The above descriptive information came from the organization's Our History page. The organization is based in Maryland but has a major location in Center City, Philadelphia.
