El Nacho | Bold Flavors, Authentic Craftsmanship
Launched in 2023 and based in Waltham, MA, El Nacho is redefining the tortilla chip with bold flavors, authentic techniques, and better ingredients. We source regeneratively farmed white corn, supporting soil health and sustainable agriculture, and use the ancient process of Nixtamalization—cooking whole grain corn with water and lime before stone-grinding it on hand-carved volcanic stones.
Our chips are then fried in heart-healthy avocado oil, delivering a perfectly crisp texture without compromise. Whether youre a foodie looking for a unique snack, a parent sharing a high-quality option with your family, or an adventurer seeking bold flavors, El Nacho brings more taste, more crunch, and more purpose to every bite.

Quinn isn’t “just another pretzel.” We’re the [insert favorite "irresistible" adjective] snack that’s filled with real ingredients, fanatical food ethics, and neurotic quality. Put even simpler, we make snacking better-er. Made from recognizable ingredients like root veggies and whole grains, there’s nothing weird in here- and nothing empty about these snacks except the bag when you’re done.
As a Certified B Corporation (and self-certified ingredient nerds), we’re committed not just to delivering innovative snacks made from responsibly sourced ingredients, but to using business as a force for good. We know food system change is about progress, not perfection- and by sourcing a portion of our ingredients from regenerative farms, we play our part in creating a food system that nourishes and empowers people and the planet. But if you just love that Quinn is delicious? That’s great, too.

Grillo's Pickles began simply with a pickle cart, just a small wooden stand in downtown Boston, where Travis Grillo and his friends would sell two spears for one dollar. Travis made the pickles by night using his family's 100-year old recipe - one he'd memorized from making pickles every summer as a kid. Then, in the morning, Travis would bike to the Boston Common and set up the cart with his buddies. Theyʼd hang out all day, urging people to try the simple Grillo family pickle. It was a small business, but Travis worked hard for it. He made more pickles, biked more miles, and slept less hours than he ever had before. Before he knew it, Whole Foods Markets and the Boston Red Sox asked to feature the pickles. Others promptly followed. Today, Grilloʼs Pickles are available in grocery stores across the country.
Even so, not much has changed. At its core, the company will always be Travis and his buddies spreading the word about these awesome pickles, just like years ago in the Boston Common. The pickle itself hasnʼt changed, either. Itʼs still garden-fresh, all-natural, and refreshingly delicious. We think itʼs the best pickle in the world.

We’re an independent, employee-owned company—and we’re obsessed with our pets. We’ve been making natural food for dogs and cats approved by a holistic veterinarian since 2012. We team up with our pets to make food they would make for themselves...ya know, if they could.
Our pet-friendly office, based in Boulder, CO, houses a crew of talented folks (27) and their pets (35). We’re outnumbered and that’s fine by us.*
With a locally-led mindset, we’re a national pet food brand. You can find “I and love and you” on shelves at Target, Walmart, etc. More than 1.6M pets order off our menu every year—plus we've donated over 1.5M pet meals to charitable organizations all over the country. There's always another seat at our table.
We’re looking to collaborate, partner, connect, and recruit more pet-obsessed people to join our team. Follow us to keep up with “I and love and you” as we continue to grow and share the love with our pets, one lip-smacking bite at a time.

At Spindrift Beverage Co., were challenging peoples expectations of how good a beverage can be.
We believe taste is everything, nature gets it right, and real ingredients should be accessible to all.
Spindrift® is proudly made the hard way™. Since 2010, weve been doing things the hard way, the intentional way, the better albeit more challenging way, the right way - because, in the end, it’s worth it.
Our products debuted in artisan Boston-area shops and eateries, where they caught the eye of local foodies and craft beverage fans. Then, it grew slowly from a cult-like following to a wide, diverse fan base. Today, our beverages can be found and enjoyed nationwide, in US retailers, grocery stores, restaurants, and even ordered directly from our website.
Headquartered just outside of Boston, our team is obsessively involved with the entire process of creating Spindrift. From visiting the farms where we source the best-tasting ingredients to being on-site for every single production run to tasting every batch, this hands-on approach is a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality. We love the challenge that comes from working with real ingredients and making a product that stands out in a crowd.
And we’re still just getting started. Join us in making every beverage a positive force of nature.
