Janie became so enchanted with these little seeds that she was literally adding them to everything in her kitchen and giving away chia treats to everyone she knew or crossed paths with, but it was her chia beverages that became the biggest hit with her friends and family. In addition to finding the beverages to be fun and delicious, they also experienced a noticeable increase in vitality. In the summer of 2009, fueled by her passion for chia and her commitment to be of service to humanity and the planet, Janie founded Mamma Chia \u2014 the first organic, chia-based food and beverage company. In addition to her love of chia, Janie and her husband, Lance, enjoy growing Hass avocados and pineapple guavas on their small farm with their 2 kitties, Spanky and Sparky, and their sweet dog, Yogi.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"redlink\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.onepercentfortheplanet.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">1% For the Planet<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.slowmoney.org\" target=\"_blank\">Slow Money Alliance<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.localharvest.org\/csa\" target=\"_blank\">Community Supported Agriculture (CSA\u2019s)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bcorporation.net\" target=\"_blank\">Certified B Corp<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ota.com\" target=\"_blank\">Organic Trade Association<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenamerica.org\" target=\"_blank\">Green America Certified<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 44px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bcorporation.net\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-688\" style=\"border: 0px none;\" title=\"Certified B Corporation \" src=\"https:\/\/www.3lectrik.com\/mammachia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/m_certb.png\" alt=\"certified b corporation logo\" width=\"41\" height=\"50\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.slowmoney.org\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-692\" style=\"border: 0px none;\" title=\"Slow Money Founding Member\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3lectrik.com\/mammachia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/m_slowmoney.png\" alt=\"slow money founding member logo\" width=\"155\" height=\"50\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.onepercentfortheplanet.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-689\" style=\"border: 0px none;\" title=\"1% For The Planet Member\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3lectrik.com\/mammachia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/m_fortheplanet.png\" alt=\"one percent for the planet member\" width=\"104\" height=\"50\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ota.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-691\" style=\"border: 0px none;\" title=\"Member of Organic Trade Association\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3lectrik.com\/mammachia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/m_organicta.png\" alt=\"organic trade association member\" width=\"117\" height=\"50\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenamerica.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-690\" style=\"border: 0px none;\" title=\"Green America Certified Business\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3lectrik.com\/mammachia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/m_greenamerica.png\" alt=\"certified business through green america\" width=\"72\" height=\"50\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planting the Seed It started on a small organic farm in rural San Diego, where Mamma Chia founder and CEO, Janie Hoffman, in her quest to find an ideal diet for her own health, fell in love with the magic of chia.
