Many moons ago (1988 to be exact), the original Chef Earl left his restaurant gig to create a revolutionary line of fresh foods without artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. After years of testing, testing and revising recipes, Earl finally found culinary nirvana.

His products developed a small but loyal following in the local areas, and eventually in 2007, Earl put his business in the hands of the Penn family – longtime pioneers in the natural foods industry. The Chef Earl’s brand is now an important part of their company, Good Foods Group, and continues to hold true to all-natural ingredients and environmentally responsible operations.
