For the fifth straight year, the organic beverage company marks growth rooted in better drinks, stronger food systems and a little “business as unusual”
DENVER, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tractor Beverage Company today announced it has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 for the fifth consecutive year. The annual list recognizes the fastest-growing private companies in America. Today, the farmer-founded, employee-owned company’s USDA certified organic drinks are poured at restaurants, universities and cultural venues across the country. That reach expanded into retail in 2026 with the national debut of Haymaker, Tractor’s award-winning line of organic apple cider vinegar sparkling tonics, at Sprouts Farmers Market.
“Five years on this list is a milestone. What matters more is what we’ve done with that growth: put more organic ingredients in more cups, supported more acres of organic farmland and helped more farmers prosper,” said Kevin Sherman, CEO of Tractor Beverage Company. “We set out to build a beverage company that could grow without losing its roots. We’re still proving that’s possible.”
Across those five years, Tractor has grown in ways that extend well beyond its place on a list:
Since first appearing on the Inc. 5000 in 2022, Tractor has grown from a foodservice disruptor into a broader organic beverage company without straying from the belief that growth should do more than sell more drinks. Along the way, Tractor established the Farmhand Foundation, launched the Organic Impact Tracker with HowGood, deepened its support of family farmers through Farm Aid and 1% for the Planet, brought its beverages into leading music venues through AEG Presents, and opened its first national retail chapter with Haymaker at Sprouts Farmers Market.
That growth is designed to create measurable impact. In 2025 alone, Tractor’s organic sourcing supported 4,815 acres of organic land and helped avoid 44 tons of synthetic pesticides. In 2026, Haymaker earned Clean Label Project certification, a NEXTY Award and four FABI Awards, while Tractor Beam received a Fast Company World Changing Ideas honorable mention; recognition not only for what Tractor makes, but for the kind of future it is working to help build.
