Chipotle launches organic beverages with Tractor Beverage

Portion of profits from beverages will support farmers

Chipotle Tractor Beverage Co.
July 20, 2020

Chipotle Mexican Grill, Newport Beach, Calif., announced it will serve new non-GMO and certified organic lemonades, aguas frescas and tea from farmer-created Tractor Beverage Co. at participating locations.

The agreement with Tractor Beverage Co. also marks the brand's first national philanthropic product integration. All Tractor Beverages sold by Chipotle will help support the U.S. agricultural industry, with 5 percent of Chipotle's profits from its sale of these beverages being donated to causes that support farmers. Funds will expand Chipotle's existing farmer programs including long-term contracts, increased local sourcing, scholarships and grants to start, run or grow farming operations, among others.

"Adding Tractor Beverage Co. products and introducing Beverages with Integrity is a notable evolution for the Chipotle menu," said Chris Brandt, chief marketing officer for Chipotle, in a statement. "Now our fans can enjoy delicious, all-natural drinks made with real ingredients while supporting the farming community."

The following four new flavors of Tractor Beverages will be offered at Chipotle exclusively for in-restaurant dining and carryout orders:

Organic Lemonade: This organic lemonade blends tangy and sweet. Made with real lemons and cane sugar, it also includes turmeric, known for its vitamin C content.

Organic Hibiscus Lemonade: Tart hibiscus flowers, known to be rich in potassium, are paired with fresh citrus in this riff on a classic lemonade.

Organic Mandarin Agua Fresca: This agua fresca is packed with vitamin C thanks to tart citrus, orange and tangerine.

Organic Berry Agua Fresca: Organically grown pomegranates, strawberries and cherries are combined to make a just-sweet-enough agua fresca, which also features a hint of apple cider vinegar.

In addition, two new bottled Tractor Beverages created for Chipotle will be available for dine-in, takeout and delivery orders: Organic Lemonade and Organic Black Tea, which is Sri Lankan Black Tea mixed with cane sugar and a hint of lemon to create a bold, yet delicate drink.

"This is a dream collaboration for two brands committed to using all-natural ingredients, sustainable sourcing and supporting farmers," said Travis Potter, founder of Tractor Beverage Co., in a statement. "Our Tractor Beverages pair perfectly with Chipotle's real food and will bring entirely new flavors to the brand's dining experience."

Beyond the new Organic Beverages program, Chipotle most recently supported farmers in its supply chain by assisting in the development of eCommerce sites within the Chipotle Virtual Farmers' Market, an online marketplace where consumers can buy real ingredients online, directly from the brand's suppliers.

To date, Chipotle and the Chipotle Cultivate Foundation have contributed over $500,000 to support the next generation of farmers. The brand is empowering the next generation of farmers by offering education, scholarships, grants, and three-year contracts to young farmers. Additionally, Chipotle's Aluminaries Project 2.0 accelerator program is helping growth stage ventures across the country advance innovative solutions in farming.
