About Us
SIMPLi makes Regenerative Organic Certified™ pantry staples with roots, cultivated in centuries-old fields and grown to truly nourish.
Quality starts in the soil. That’s why our heirloom beans, ancient grains, and single-origin oils are naturally more nutrient-dense. Every batch is independently tested through 200+ ISO-certified lab tests, so what you feed your family is as pure as the soil it came from.
Founded in 2020 by Sarela Herrada and Matt Cohen, parents to three young children, SIMPLi pairs deep agricultural heritage with operational rigor to scale regenerative food that nourishes families today and helps build a healthier future for the next generation.
At SIMPLi, our 8 Norms guide our teams to deliver the highest quality work to our partners & customers. By embedding these Norms into our daily life, we are creating a culture that thrives on excellence and
accountability.
1. Own It – We take full responsibility for what we build – our words, our work, and our impact. We don’t wait to be told. We anticipate, act, and own outcomes.
2. Bring The Heat – We show up with energy, presence, and emotion. Passion fuels performance, and we bring it every time – loud, proud, and full-on.
3. Build Boldly – We move fast, take smart risks, and challenge the status quo. Safe is slow. Perfect is too late. We build what's next.
4. Keep It Tight – We follow through with clarity and discipline. If we say we’ll do it, we do it – cleanly, clearly, on time, every time.
5. Say The Thing – We give real feedback, early and often. No politics. No drama. Just direct, human conversations rooted in trust.
6. Win Together – We’re not just teammates – we’re all in. We show up for each other, share the weight, and celebrate our wins like they matter. Because they do.
7. Raise The Bar – We hold ourselves and each other to the highest standard. Excellence is how we show respect – to the work, the mission, and each other.
8. Stay In It – You stay in dialogue when things get tough, not just ease. You don’t shut down or ghost – you stay connected.
If you’re passionate about food, sustainability, and making a difference, then SIMPLi is the place for you!
