“We are thrilled to have Blake’s All Natural Foods join ConAgra Foods,” says Sean Connolly, ConAgra Foods’ chief executive officer. “Blake’s is a great addition to our existing frozen meals business and provides more choices to a growing group of people buying natural and organic foods. ConAgra Foods will help Blake’s grow and offer its wholesome food to more people across the country.”

“Blake’s is really excited to join the ConAgra Foods team, as it will allow us to build on the momentum we’ve created over several years and continue to meet the growing demand for our meals,” says Chris Licata, president and CEO of Blake’s. “Natural and organic food has clearly earned a place in American households, and we will continue to make the same meals that the Blake family has made for people over four generations.”
