About us
Thistle makes it easy to get and stay healthy while improving the sustainability of the food system. We deliver deliciously nutritious, ready-to-eat plant-forward meals, snacks, and juices straight to your door. Designed by nutritionists and crafted by chefs, our meal design reflects scientific, evidence-based principles of diet that optimize health and longevity, while maximizing planetary health, featuring real, whole, plant-rich foods like fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, and whole grains. Above all, Thistle makes eating a plant-forward, planet-friendly diet the most irresistible option on the table. We’ve delivered over 20 million meals since our founding in 2013 by Ashwin Cheriyan and Shiri Avnery, PhD, and maintain ongoing partnerships with local food rescue nonprofit organizations to alleviate hunger and fight food waste. We currently deliver throughout the greater West Coast and East Coast, and are continuing to rapidly expand. We’re proud to be recognized for our growth and impact. Newsweek ranked us in their 2025 Excellence Index 1000, while the San Francisco Business Times included us in the 2023 Top 100 Fastest Growing Private Companies in the Bay Area. In 2022, Inc. honored us with their Best in Business award for excelling in food and sustainability, and in 2024, we were featured in the Inc. Regionals list of the fastest-growing companies in America by region. To learn more about our mission, visit www.thistle.co.
