History

True Leaf Market was founded as Mountain Valley Seed Company in Logan, Utah in 1974[3] by Demetrios Agathangelides, a Greek-American plant geneticist at Utah State University who was doing research on plant varieties adapted to environments with high altitudes and short growing seasons.[1] The company has since grown and merged with other companies, and has been renamed as True Leaf Market.[4] As of 2014, True Leaf Market is owned and managed by Robb Baumann, Lance Heaton, Kaitlin Jones, and Parker Garlitz.[1][2] Today, True Leaf Market remains as one of the few hundred independently owned seed companies in the United States, due to mass consolidation of seed companies by giant agribusinesses taking place over the decades.[1]
