In 1976, Gerry Knight started Waymouth Farms in the garage of his Minnesota home, where he hand-mixed his favorite nuts, seeds and fruits into delicious, nutrient-dense, healthy Good Sense® snacks. Word spread and soon he had a successful business making snacks for local grocery stores.  Today, Waymouth Farms is operating as Good Sense Foods.  We are a family-owned, family-run company committed to producing high-quality foods crafted with whole-food ingredients in New Hope, Minnesota.  Our brands include Salad Pizazz!®, delicious, clean salad and veggie toppings that enhance any meal experience, as well as Good Sense, our line of great-tasting, nutrient-dense, better-for-you snacks. Our products are always crafted with few, simple, clean ingredients.
