A Proud History
Santa Cruz Nutritionals was founded in 1968 by two local surfers, under the name Harmony Foods. Harmony Foods conceived and successfully marketed the first trail mixes, and were one of the earliest companies to produce gummy bears. Forty years later, the company continues the gummy tradition as the primary manufacturer of supplemented gummy and jelly bean products.
