Director of Communications

We’re on a mission to create a food system that’s better for everyone, from farmers to eaters.

We believe that many of us are ready for an alternative way to shop, cook, and break bread with our families and friends. For us, it’s about bringing joy to those who savor their food and care where it comes from, who want it fresh from the harvest and still smelling of the earth.
