Meet our team.
ClimateYard™ is the latest offering from the innovators at Johnny Appleseed Organic.
OUR MISSION
Using the power of plants to combat climate change.
Johnny Appleseed Organic™ makes environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional lawn and garden products. We created ClimateGard™ and Climate Farming™ to harness the power of plants in the fight against climate change.
WHO WE ARE
Meet Founder & CEO Jeff Meyer
In 1995, Jeff discovered, authenticated and acquired exclusive genetic rights to the “Algeo tree,” the last surviving tree planted by Johnny Appleseed, forming the foundation of our company.
A lifetime conservationist, he worked with American Forests to plant 20 million trees on public lands. He also founded and developed our nation’s single largest privately-funded habitat conservation bank, located in Wyoming — a 627,000 acre project dedicated to enhancing and restoring critical sage brush habitats for endangered and threatened species.
Prior to launching Johnny Appleseed Organic, he was involved in the creation of large-scale renewable energy storage projects.
OUR VALUES
We’re building a diverse team.
Johnny Appleseed Organic is committed to building an inclusive culture that elevates the individual voices of our diverse team. We believe that embracing the backgrounds, personalities and lived experiences of our work family makes us a stronger company and more closely connects us with our customers and communities.
We believe in equal pay for equal work.
Johnny Appleseed Organic believes workers of equal skill who perform the same tasks and have the same responsibilities deserve the same pay. We are committed to sharing our prosperity among senior and junior employees alike, and in keeping with that belief, limit the salary of our highest-paid employee to no more than five times that of our lowest-paid employee. Furthermore, we recognize the contributions of our team by making all full time employees equity partners in the company.
Ethical trade practices are key.
Johnny Appleseed Organic will make every effort to secure the most ethical source available for any supplies, materials or labor used in the manufacture of our products. Our packaging will reflect this commitment with transparent, easy-to-understand labeling that details the origin of each component, as well as the conditions and methods by which it is acquired.
