Cleveland Kitchen started several years ago with three brothers who began their fermenting journey in college as a way to stay in touch with their Cleveland roots. The business was born when they started selling mouthwatering, innovative kraut flavors at North Union Farmers Market on weekends. Now, our fresh, probiotic kraut, fermented dressings & marinades, kimchi, and pickles are sold in 10,000+ grocery stores across the country.

Honey Mama’s is the Portland, Oregon-based maker of delicious honey-sweetened refrigerated truffle bars! Founded in 2013 by Christy Goldsby at the Portland Farmers Market, Honey Mama’s is now sold in over 8,000 stores nationwide. The brand has garnered national press recognition as a cult-favorite in Bon Appetit, Forbes, Refinery29, Healthline, Eat This Not That!, Men’s Health, Food & Wine, Epicurious, and more. Honey Mama’s is beloved for its one-of-a-kind texture, often compared to brownie batter, chocolate truffles, or fudge – the real treat is discovering each bar is made from only a limited number of nutrient-rich whole food ingredients. Setting the gold standard for what it means to be clean label, all Honey Mama’s products are free from refined sugar, gluten, dairy, soy, stabilizers, emulsifiers, and additives. Just imagine your favorite candy bar went to a meditation retreat and came back enlightened. Our mission is to further the food-as-medicine movement by giving you a uniquely memorable indulgent experience that contributes simultaneously to health and vitality. In September 2021, Honey Mama’s announced the close of a Series A2 investment round, led by Amberstone Ventures. Yes, our master plan is to bring more joy to the world with every Honey Mama’s bar we make (and you eat!).

Frida is more than a brand built to support parents. We get parents. We know all about the often unbelievable realities of parenthood, because we’ve been in the trenches. Over the last 9 years, we’ve dedicated ourselves to developing the tools (and sometimes the tips, too) that help simplify parenting - and it all started with snot. Since the launch of our cult-favorite NoseFrida, The SnotSucker, we’ve innovated and launched over 100 products that provide quick and easy solutions to age-old parenting problems. We also launched Frida Mom in 2019, with products to help women with the transition through the fourth trimester into motherhood. Today, Frida holds over a 70% share of its main category, and our products can be found in over 50+ countries and in over 40,000 stores throughout the US - in every retail channel from mass-market, grocery, chain drug, and specialty stores. For 7 years, we’ve had parents’ backs as they navigate the parts of parenthood you don’t usually see on the ’gram with honest and raw messaging to provide the answers to questions they didn’t even know they had. And, we’re just getting started.
