About Us
Our mission is to promote the growth of organic food, agriculture and local economies by serving as the nation’s leading provider of all organic and eco-friendly gift collections.
With roots in Boulder, Colorado, renowned as a center of natural, organic and sustainable business, our beautifully illustrated, keepsake “Boulder’s Best Organics” and “Colorado’s Best Organics” gift box collections feature local, artisan organic foods and snacks, personal care products and other eco-friendly items that help keep toxic, synthetic pesticides, nanoparticals and GMOs out of our diets and environment.
We have also partnered with Bonterra Organic Vineyards and are pleased to offer the nation’s best-selling California wines made with 100% organic grapes. We love proving that wine grapes grown without toxic, synthetic chemicals make delicious, world-class wine.
In all, we work with nearly three dozen local artisan organic producers, who, like us, are committed to promoting health, sustainability and small Colorado businesses.
Our environmental commitment also includes reducing waste in packaging and shipping. We use only recycled and recyclable materials and minimal packaging. We also choose to office in a solar powered building to further reduce our impact.
Best Organics is a Green America-approved business, and a member of Colorado Proud, Naturally Boulder and the Boulder Chamber of Commerce.
We invite you to join our effort to build health and well being one gift at time.
Organically yours,
| Seleyn DeYarus CEO  | Steve Hoffman co-owner  | Arron Mansika Founder  |

Jim Freeheart, Artist
Jim Freeheart has graciously given Best Organics the use of many of his incredible paintings of Colorado and Boulder for our beautifully illustrated keepsake gift boxes. Jim began his artistic career during an adventure to Europe and the Canary Islands in 1974. During a short apprenticeship under renowned Spanish artist Joan Parés, Jim began painting landscapes in oils. A summer class with Sam Barber encouraged more vibrant use of color. Living on Cape Cod, Hawaii, Boulder, and Europe, "plein-air" paintings of these and other subjects were produced now using the artist's preferred medium of acrylics.
