MONTEREY, Calif., Oct. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The list of accolades continues to grow for Sweet Earth Natural Foods with significant recognition from both the Silicon Valley Business Journal and Goldman Sachs. The Journal has named Sweet Earth the 11^th fastest growing company in Silicon Valley and CEO Kelly Swette was named one of the 100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs of 2015 by Goldman Sachs.

Each year, the Journal publishes its "Fast 50" privately held companies based on growth from year to year. At 488% growth and the largest food company on the list, Sweet Earth proves that Silicon Valley is more than just high-tech.
