Grim though it may seem, there was a time when people thought all coffee was the same. It was a time when there were no trendy espresso shops. A time when the term “Arabica” was not part of the average American’s vocabulary. A time when coffee usually arrived in a tin cylinder. A time called 1975. nd while most young Americans were perfecting their disco moves, one young man, Jeffrey Cohn, focused instead on a new venture—launching a specialty coffee company. Having grown up in a family of coffee entrepreneurs (his grandfather was the founder of coffee giant Superior Coffee), Cohn wanted to provide people with a higher-quality coffee than the one they could get to with a can opener—one that people could enjoy solely on the merits of flavor. In 1977, his vision became a reality with the establishment of “The Brewing Market” in Boulder, Colorado. Soon after opening his second shop in 1980, Cohn began roasting his own beans on-site, exposing Boulder to authentic, freshly roasted specialty coffees for the first time. In 1985, increasing demand in the wholesale market prompted Cohn to sell the Brewing Market and launch Allegro Coffee Company, an import, roasting and wholesale distribution venture. Cohn’s insistence on using only the purest quality ingredients and traditional, handcrafted roasting methods sparked the interest of Boulder’s natural foods retailers just as natural foods markets were beginning a phase of dynamic, nationwide expansion.

While homemakers are busy making chapati, roti, and pooris, Food Corporation of India (FCI) stays busy managing India's grain supplies. FCI buys and markets wheat and rice for the Indian government, purchasing both domestically grown and imported grains, keeping the stockpiles in its own warehouses. Through periodic sales, FCI controls and manages the domestic grain supply, regulating the market prices for those commodities. It also provides some of its stores of grain to government-subsidized food programs, and it builds up buffer stocks to meet any food crisis. One of Asia's largest companies, FCI operates under the direction of the Indian government's Food Ministry. It was founded in 1965.

We didn’t set out to become the nation’s leading natural frozen food brand. All we wanted to do was create a business that would allow us to earn a living by providing convenient and tasty natural vegetarian meals for people like ourselves, who appreciated good food, but were often too busy to cook "from scratch." We started on a "shoestring," using our own house and barn as headquarters. The founding meetings were held in the same room where we were married and where our daughter Amy was born.This was in 1987, before the idea of "organic" food had become well known, and when there were very few frozen meals available for vegetarians to eat, either in health food stores or supermarkets. We were, however, very fortunate in being in the right place at the right time. The number of vegetarians had increased dramatically, as had consumer awareness of the harmful effects on their health and the environment of chemicals in the food supply.
