About Us

At Plant People, we’re building one of the fastest-growing modern wellness brands in the country. The company was founded after two friends turned to the healing potential of functional mushrooms and herbs during their recovery from traumatic spinal surgeries. What began as a personal journey back to health became a mission to help more people experience the power of plants in everyday life.

Today, we create delicious, clean, and effective gummies designed to help people sleep deeper, focus better, feel calmer, and live well. We’re proud to be B Corp and Climate Neutral Certified, and our products are carried by leading retailers including Whole Foods Market, Target, Erewhon, REI, Sprouts, JetBlue, and other forward-thinking partners nationwide.

Who We Are

Plant People is scaling fast and serious.

We're hands-on and all-in – Everyone here builds. We take ownership, move fast, and stay scrappy. Whether it's launching a new SKU or jumping in on a last-minute shoot, we show up ready to solve, not sit back.

We lead with story, backed by data – We're obsessed with how things look, feel, and resonate—but we also love performance metrics, A/B tests, and sharp pivots. Creative and analytical thinking live side by side here.

We care deeply – About wellness. About the planet. About our customers. We're here because we believe there's a better way to help people feel good, and we want to build it together.

We give a damn – About the details, the deadlines, the tone of a subject line, the flavor of a gummy. We sweat the small stuff because that's what earns trust and builds brand love.

We communicate clearly – We believe feedback is fuel. We speak with intention, listen with curiosity, and work collaboratively—even when we disagree.

We stay curious – We pay attention to what's happening in culture, in science, in our community. We're always learning—and never afraid to change our minds.
