Well, lots actually.\u00a0 Every company goes through this \u2013 the naming process. And every company\u2019s story is a little different. So where did the name \u201cUncle Matt\u2019s Organic\u201d come from? We sat down with Uncle Matt himself to find out.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Q:<\/strong> Give us the back story, was your plan always for the company to be called \u201cUncle Matt\u2019s Organic?\u201d<\/p>\n A:<\/strong> Looking back, I had all these silly, cheesy names picked out, but I could tell I hadn\u2019t landed on the right one yet. <\/em><\/p>\n Q.<\/strong> Can you tell us some of those names?<\/p>\n \u00a0A.\u00a0<\/strong>No, they really weren\u2019t in the running, but I can tell you I didn\u2019t intend for the company to be named after me. I wasn\u2019t trying to be the \u201cRonald McDonald\u201d of the organic juice industry.<\/em><\/p>\n Q<\/strong>. Well with a last name like \u2018Mc-Lean\u2019 you wouldn\u2019t have been far from that! Just kidding. Anyways, so where did the name come from?<\/p>\n A. <\/strong>My sister-in-law came up with it, actually. She called me one morning and told me it came to her in a dream.<\/em><\/p>\n Q.<\/strong> Wait, for real? She just dreamed up the name of your company? And then you used it?<\/p>\n A<\/strong>. Yes, she did. And at first, I wasn\u2019t so sure, but then I figured her dreaming this had to come from somewhere, and I wasn\u2019t going to mess with that. <\/em><\/p>\n Q.<\/strong> Wow, so the name came from a dream!<\/p>\n A.<\/strong> And the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. A family-owned and operated company wanting to protect and grow healthier future generations. \u2018Uncle\u2019 was a perfect fit for me, the family and our company\u2026 and it\u2019s what we still stand for today.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n And there you have it! A dream back in 1999 has grown into the #1 organic orange juice selling company in the U.S. with no plans of slowing down any time soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, lots actually.\u00a0 Every company goes through this \u2013 the naming process.
