Carrington Farms

What Carrington Farms does

Carrington Farms is a family-owned natural foods company founded in 1999 and operated through The Carrington Tea Company, LLC, headquartered in Closter, New Jersey. The company sells organic, non-GMO, clean-label food products directly to consumers and through major retail and online channels. Its portfolio spans four merchandising categories — Oils & Ghees (organic coconut oil, liquid coconut cooking oil, organic ghee, MCT oil, beef tallow, cooking sprays), Baking Ingredients (gluten-free cassava, lupin, and semolina flours; beet root, matcha, and mushroom powders; plant-based protein blends), Seeds & Smoothie Ingredients (milled flax, chia, holy basil seeds, MCT oil powder, and single-serve PAKS), and Side Dishes & Salad Toppers (Ground Lupin Bean side dish and Organic Crounons). Hero products carry USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified certifications, are hexane-free, and are packaged in BPA-free containers; select SKUs are Star K Kosher certified.

The company's underlying technology is concentrated in food processing rather than software. Its proprietary liquid coconut oil distillation process selectively removes higher-melting-point fatty acids while retaining lower-melting-point fatty acids, preserving MCTs and lauric acid and producing a cooking oil that remains liquid at room temperature with a smoke point up to 400°F. Other manufacturing methods referenced include cold expeller pressing for seed and coconut oils and small-batch rendering for Wagyu and Angus beef tallow.

Carrington Farms monetizes primarily through unit-priced B2C sales with no subscription tier and no enterprise contract layer. Pricing varies by SKU and size, ranging from approximately $5.89 (Coconut Oil Cooking Spray) to $44.99 (bulk 72-count Flax Chia PAKS), with free shipping on DTC orders over $50. Distribution is dual-channel: a Shopify-powered DTC storefront (carringtonfarms.com) plus shelf presence at Walmart, Target, Amazon, iHerb, Azure Standard, and Vitacost, with the DTC storefront also reaching international consumers in at least nine countries through marketplace channels. Marketing runs on content (a 14-page recipe blog), organic social (Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest), and email; a sister brand, simply tera's, captures protein-powder demand through cross-referral.
