Woman-founded Ojai brand recognized for 66% three-year revenue growth; ranks #141 in Food & Beverage category
OJAI, CA – August 19, 2026 – Lark Ellen Farm has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, ranking #3,854 among America's fastest-growing private companies and #141 in the Food & Beverage category. The honor recognizes the brand's 66 percent three-year revenue growth and its mission to craft sprouted organic nuts & seeds that nourish body and spirit.
"Making the Inc. 5000 list is meaningful because it validates what we've known since day one: better food and better business can grow side by side," said Kelley Scanlin, founder and CEO of Lark Ellen Farm. "This recognition belongs to our team, our community, and the customers who trusted us enough to bring our products into their homes and their lives."
Since founding Lark Ellen Farm in 2015, Scanlin has built a company rooted in transparency, integrity, and care. From the Ojai kitchen where it all began, the brand has grown to retail partnerships including Costco, Sprouts Farmers Market, Whole Foods Market, Amazon, and Thrive Market. The company's portfolio spans two brands: Lark Ellen Farm (USDA Organic sprouted granolas, nuts, and seeds) and Purely Sprouted (Non-GMO Verified sprouted snack mixes), both made with intention and Air-Crisped™ for a unique light crunch.
The Inc. 5000 list represents the most prestigious recognition for privately held, fast-growing companies in America. Honorees are selected based on verified revenue growth over three years, with applications vetted through audited financial statements and tax returns.
"Growth has never been the goal. Nourishment and integrity are," Scanlin added. "But reaching people who care about real food, real ingredients, and real values, that's everything. Congrats to all the founders and teams honored alongside us this year."
Lark Ellen Farm joins an exclusive group of Inc. 5000 companies reshaping the food industry with intention and transparency. The full 2026 Inc. 5000 list and profiles are available at inc.com/inc5000.
