In 1999, Ford sold Arrowhead Mills to the Hain Celestial Group of Melville, New York, which maintains its public relations office in Boulder, Colorado. Arrowhead offers 220 items.
He thereafter retired to Irvine, in Orange County in southern California. In 2008, he filed as a Democratic candidate for the District 49 seat in the United States House of Representatives to oppose the conservative Republican incumbent Darrell Issa of Vista in northern San Diego County. Ford withdrew from the primary because of health considerations. Issa defeated Democrat Robert "Bob" Hamilton of Fallbrook, also in San Diego County, in the November 4 general election.
