We believe food has the power to change the world. By committing to Responsibly Raised, Real food, we’re making a difference one burrito and bowl at a time.
Through our initiatives, we prioritize Real ingredients, responsible sourcing, and thoughtful preparation, recognizing the direct connection between how food is raised and grown, prepared, and how it tastes.
Supporting farmers with every sip
We met our commitment of donating $5 million over 5 years to help support farmers and are proud to continue investing in farmers through our partnership with Tractor Beverage Co. It brings organic, non-GMO drinks to Chipotle while giving back 5% of profits from its sales of Tractor Beverages.
Funding research that moves farmers forward
Our Tractor Beverage fund helps us fund farming initiatives like our $2 million donation in four top universities to advance sustainable agriculture, from agrivoltaics to crop research—empowering the next generation to create real-world change.
Planting real possibilities for farming’s future
Over the past five years, we’ve awarded 275 Seed Grants, giving young farmers $5,000 each to break barriers, expand opportunities, and build stronger, more sustainable farms. Meet the recipients
Investing $100M in innovation that feeds the world
Through Cultivate Next, we’re investing $100 million in bold ideas, from AI-powered supply chains to smarter sourcing, to build a safer, more sustainable future.
By backing farmers, funding innovation, and championing sustainability, we’re growing the future of Real food.
Real food doesn’t just happen, it’s built through partnerships that challenge the status quo to shape a more sustainable, ethical food system. Because how we grow our food is how we grow our future.
When organic cilantro didn’t exist at our scale, we didn’t wait for change–we made it. Partnering with Coastal Fresh Farms, we pioneered the first-ever commercial organic cilantro, because real progress isn’t found. It’s made.
Now, we’re bringing that same commitment to beans. Our goal is to onboard and commercially scale a new category of sustainable beans in 2025.
