About us

It takes the perfect blend of people, passion and ingredients to make something truly special.

What started as one inspired chef in the back of a vegan kitchen has quickly grown to a team of 20 (and counting) in a full-scale facility. We haven’t lost touch with our roots and still incorporate the same fun and focus from those early days (and late nights) in the kitchen to maintain our passion-forward, people-first philosophy that fuels our operations today.

We are an enthusiastic team of diverse individuals who love ethically-sourced, delicious food and who believe that, yes, 100% dairy-free, plant-based products can taste this good! We believe in the ability to spread positive, sustainable change through food. Let’s share the journey!
