GoodSAM Foods
Our story is one about farms, family, food, people and planet.

The country of Colombia is where GoodSam has its main supply chain. A country rich in history but also in violence and class division. Colombia has a bad reputation for guerrilla groups, narcotics and political violence. What we've seen, as a company, is a country of hard working and passionate people, biodiversity and family values. One where everyone is working to be paid a fair wage and expects neighbors and business to take care of each other and the Earth.

A ground zero for organic and regenerative farming efforts Colombia is the second most biodiverse country in the world, lagging only after Brazil which is approximately 7 times bigger. It has the highest rate of species by area unit worldwide and it has the largest number of endemisms (species that are not found naturally anywhere else) of any country on the planet. About 10% of the species of the Earth live in Colombia.
