Meet the Manufacturer – Honest to Goodness
Honest to Goodness, founded in 2002 by Matt Ward, has grown from a small market stall in Sydney into a national leader in organic and natural foods. The company offers a wide range of certified organic pantry staples, health foods, and personal care products, all grounded in the values of sustainability, transparency, and ethical sourcing.
From its early days selling organic nuts and dried fruits by hand, Honest to Goodness has focused on building strong, long-term relationships with growers and suppliers. The company ensures that all products meet strict standards for organic certification, quality, and regenerative agricultural practices, supporting soil health, biodiversity, and minimal environmental impact.
Sustainability is embedded across the business. Honest to Goodness sources responsibly, works with ethical manufacturers, and uses recyclable packaging wherever possible. Signature products, like Organic Coconut Cream, are produced with partners who follow agroforestry methods and zero-synthetic inputs, exemplifying the company’s commitment to quality and environmental stewardship.
As consumer demand for eco-friendly options has grown, Honest to Goodness has expanded beyond food to include organic personal care and household products, helping Australians make sustainable choices throughout their homes. The company also embraces innovation, including technology in logistics and distribution, to enhance efficiency and sustainability.
Today, Honest to Goodness continues to make certified organic living accessible to households nationwide while supporting a thriving network of ethical producers. The company remains true to its founding values of quality, authenticity, and trust, demonstrating that a business built on transparency and sustainability can thrive while positively impacting both people and the planet.
