Plant-based, organic nutrition. Made for tolerance.

About us

Kate Farms was founded when a little girl named Kate was failing to thrive because she couldn't tolerate any of the available tube feeding formulas. Her determined parents, Richard and Michelle, had the transformative idea to develop a formula using high-quality, organic, and plant-based ingredients without the common allergens and ingredients often found in traditional formulas. Today, Kate is thriving, and Kate Farms is now the #1 recommended plant-based brand.* Kate Farms offers medical formulas for children and adults to be used as sole-source or supplemental nutrition for oral and tube feeding. They are available nationally and eligible for insurance coverage with Medicare, Medicaid, 30 states for WIC and private insurance. Kate Farms formulas are made with organic pea protein, fiber, and phytonutrients, and made without the top nine common allergens or artificial colors or flavors. Kate Farms can be accessed in more than 1,000 US hospitals. For more information on our full product portfolio, visit www.katefarms.com. *Independent plant-based formula survey.

    We’re thrilled to announce that our CEO, Brett Matthews, will be taking part in an important conversation on the future of food and healthcare at HLTH Foundation USA 2024 in Las Vegas, October 20-24!    Brett will be speaking on the Medicinal Meals panel, diving into how initiatives like medically tailored meals and condition-specific foods can reduce healthcare costs and improve health outcomes. With nearly half of Americans affected by diseases related to poor nutrition, the food-as-medicine movement has never been more important. The White House’s $9.7 billion pledge to support these programs highlights a major shift in this space.   Kate Farms is proud to be part of this transformative conversation and committed to expanding access to high-quality nutrition. Together, we’re shaping a healthier future. Sign up to join Brett at HLTH 2024 here: https://lnkd.in/eg9vDN_X   #HLTHUSA #FoodAsMedicine #HealthcareInnovation #NutritionMatters #KateFarms #HealthAndWellness
