We
Love: Rachel Berliner, Amy's Kitchen Cofounder
 Long before “locavore” became a buzzword, before
organic foods appeared on neighborhood store shelves, before
vegetarians numbered in the tens of millions, Rachel Berliner
and her husband, Andy, were working hard to create Amy’s
Kitchen, their enormously successful line of natural frozen
foods. As any working parent—Amy’s is named for
their daughter, born right before the company was created—would
know, Rachel struggled to put nutritious meals on her family’s
table, finding that vegetarian ones were next to impossible.
Amy’s, now in its 20th year, is truly a family affair:
Rachel’s husband Andy is CEO, her mother Eleanor is the
company’s chief copywriter, and daughter Amy has her
own section on the company website where she blogs. And each
member of the family taste-tests Amy’s products before
they’re added to the line (jealous!).
It’s easy to admire Rachel and the rest of the Amy’s
team for their great-tasting and healthy products, but it’s
their commitment—to keeping Amy’s a family operation,
to using sustainable practices, to supporting organic farmers,
to keeping their customers in mind all the time, to raising
consciousness about the benefits of eating healthy foods—that
makes them stand out. So, raise that slice of Amy’s pizza
and toast a pathbreaking, and well-fed, woman!
