If you think the future of grocery lies in the hands of consumers, not conglomerates, we should chat. Uproot Food Collective is talking to investors – we’d love to hear from you.
Uproot Food Collective started with two farmers market producers, Honest Dumplings and South Island Pie Co. People loved their products. They were selling out every week. So what was the problem? Well, growth.
So the owners put their heads together—then joined together—and got more companies to join them. Now they’re sharing costs and selling to grocery stores under a single banner. People still love their products. Now it’s just a lot more people.
But let’s cut ourselves some slack, humanity. Food and capitalism are doing a complex dance. Mass production makes cheap food that tastes like cheap food. Craft production makes food that’s delicious—but it costs half a paycheck and you can only get it for 3 hours a week at a farmers market across town.
What if there were a way to make customers happy and make food producers money? That was clearly a rhetorical question. Hi, we’re Uproot Food Collective. We’re invested in changing the food industry for the better. Care to invest with us?
