At sourced by, we’ve made it our mission to create a better food system – for people and the planet. From each handful of kale to our reusable packaging and carbon offsetting, we put the planet first. We partner with local farmers and suppliers not only to connect you to delicious, real, wholesome food, but also to reduce the distance from your food to your table. Just like the food we harvest, no one person is the same – and we celebrate that by matching customers with local chefs, who source and personalize weekly menus based on unique needs and goals. Less time spent planning leads to more time experiencing a shared meal with family and friends. Food that tastes good and does good? That’s a win-win for you and the planet.

Wayfarer Studios, forged by a partnership between Justin Baldoni (Jane The Virgin, Five Feet Apart) and Steve Sarowitz (4S Bay/Paylocity), is a creative and financial engine that produces radically sincere film and television content that is platform and genre agnostic. We share the belief that quality content with purpose has a broad audience - what's from the heart will always reach the heart. We don’t believe content with purpose and commercial success are mutually exclusive. Wayfarer Studios was founded with the mission to develop and finance projects that can serve as true agents for social change, and which can eradicate the negative “isms” from our world. The studio aims “to disrupt for good” by empowering and protecting creators with fresh voices, championing content that speaks to the human spirit and challenging the status quo. We are building a Studio of yesterday for tomorrow centered around creators with our eyes towards a decentralized and digital future that embraces our diverse global community. Our first project was the film CLOUDS, a co-finance venture with Warner Bros. that Baldoni both directed and produced. Wayfarer Studios currently has multiple feature film and television projects in active development.
