This phase of growth aligns with the company’s revamped positioning strategy emphasising its 'food-as-medicine' mission. This desire to educate not only reflects the company's foundational values but also addresses the broader industry challenge of how health is communicated in the alt-protein sector. The company is hoping the institutional and age care sector will see their products as 'must have' menu options.

"We believe that real, whole foods are the future of the alt-protein industry."


This innovative approach has not gone unnoticed. The company's products, including its award-winning pulled pork alternative, have received accolades at Plant-Based World industry expos, highlighting their pioneering role in a competitive market. As Kesha Stickland passionately shared, "It's about giving people a reason to embrace plant-based diets, driven by taste, health benefits, and environmental impact."
