Some interesting green baby business took place last week with the announcement that The Nest Collective had acquired the leading frozen organic baby and toddler meal maker, Plum Organics. “With a focus on the needs of children and parents, Plum Organics felt like a natural extension of our greater portfolio,” said Sheryl O’Loughlin, CEO of The Nest Collective. “Our mission at Nest is to create a nurturing environment where great brands can grow. Now, with our support, Plum Organics can stay true to its core mission and accelerate its growth through cutting edge innovation and the business synergies of The Nest Collective.”

The move allows Plum Organics, which was started only in 2005, to further expand its product line and enter into new markets. “As an entrepreneur and mom, I saw the Nest as a place to nurture a larger vision while staying true to the heart and soul of my company,” said Gigi Lee Chang, Founder of Plum Organics. “Nest represents a new lens through which business is conducted. Together with a talented and dynamic team, Nest balances the need for results, while upholding the values that Plum Organics was built upon.”

Congrats to Plum Organics on the buyout! Here’s to hoping the partnership expands the brand into more supermarkets around the nation.
