I want to take a moment to shoutout the mighty Green Spoon Team! This crew has been hustling HARD! These past couple weeks the team has traveled from near & far to support our partners at the UNFI & KeHE Distributors Holiday Shows (where Green Spoon was again a proud Sponsor)! Hearing so many positive comments coming from all different folks at the show, I am beaming with pride. It has been inspiring to see how far the team has come over the past 13+ years! My husband and I started Green Spoon with a few $10.00 bills and a strong desire to change the service side of the industry. With his extensive experience in retail buying, store management, broker work, leading sales for manufacturers to my experience with brand marketing and merchandising, we just knew there was a different way to support retailers & the innovative brands coming into the space. We also wanted to create an environment where good folks that love the natural lifestyle as much as we did, could be part of a culture where they are supported, cared for and could make a difference! We would not be here today if it weren't for our friends at Whole Foods Market & Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage who gave us a shot back in the day. We would also not be here if it weren't for our long-standing partners, such as Primal Kitchen (Primal Nutrition, LLC),Kettle & Fire , OLIPOP PBC, Chomps, Tony's Chocolonely, SmartSweets & many others! It has been a dream to help build these brands from their very early days to becoming industry leaders! We are thrilled to continue to build innovative brands from the early days to becoming the next big thing, like our friends at Mid-Day Squares, Painterland Sisters, Mezcla, GOODLES and more! Green Spoon has successfully built one of the leading full-service agencies. From our in-house merchandising team, national field sales team (covering nearly 4000 stores in all states), a stellar Key Account team (covering all key customers in both the natural & conventional grocery channels), a top-notch Data & Analytics team (providing invaluable data insights, shout out SPINS for the great partnership), a strategic Promotions & Trade team, an industry-leading Distributor Relations Team, an amazing Brand Management Team (bringing vast experience from all facets of the industry), a high-touch Brand Incubator and much more! What this team is doing is working! Green Spoon brand partners are outperforming total market naturally positioned brands by 7.5 TIMES! We aren't slowing down! Green Spoon is excited about what's to come as we have continued to invest heavily in our 215 team members (and growing), our evolving capabilities, advanced data and technology offerings, etc. This team will continue to knock down walls, create new valued added services, create new opportunities and continue to change the game. A HUGE thank you to everyone out there that has supported us. We are so thankful for what this team has accomplished and what's to come!

I want to take a moment on this #EarthDay2024 and give a heartfelt shout-out to our amazing Green Spoon Sales team. I have been reflecting this morning on all the Green Spoon community has done and the impact they are making! When I came to them all at the beginning of 2023 to announce that we were making the move to become a 1% for the Planet company, they cheered! When I also announced we were going to be the first company in 1% to require our team to complete a certain number of hours a year volunteering with 1% non-profits, they rallied. I felt strongly that as part of our company mission, we could not make this optional. With the state that our natural environment is in, we NEED to take action! I also felt getting our team out into the woods, on the rivers, and in nature was good for the mind, body, and spirit. This crew delivered and is going strong! Not only did they have the most hours volunteering in 2023 than any other 1% company, but they built friendships, supported their local communities, and most of all, they made a difference! Today, I have the honor of contacting the 5 organizations our 200+ team members voted to donate over $100,000.00 to! We are proud to support the important efforts that Save The Waves Coalition, Save the Bee, Just Roots Chicago, Save The Redwoods League and the Wild Salmon Center are doing every single day to fight the good fight! Thank you, Team Green Spoon, for all you do to support natural products, support our Earth, and support each other! I am honored and proud to be part of this community. Happy Earth Day everyone, together we can make a difference! 🌎 💚 #earthday2024 #onepercentfortheplanet #naturalfoodgoodpeople #teamonamission #earthwarriors #bethechange #togetherwecandothis #greenspoonsales #spoononthemove #wearegreen #savethebee #savethewavescoalition #justrootschicago #savetheredwoodsleague #wildsalmoncenter
