At Good Catch, we are passionate culinary rebels with a cause—seafood without sacrifice. We create the best plant-made, chef-mastered delicacies you’ll ever taste. Good Catch brings you the rich flavors and flaky textures of fine seafood—from fish-free tuna and burgers to crab-free cakes—made with nutritious, sustainable ingredients. Our mission: to preserve the ocean’s natural resources while introducing awesomely delicious “seafood” choices that benefit you and the world. Nothing fishy about it.
Bon Appétit. Chad and Derek.

PetPlate was founded in 2016 by Renaldo Webb when he decided it was time to feed his first dog, Winston, real food, so he started cooking for him and soon discovered a tremendous need for PetPlate. The business has grown exponentially since launching nationally in 2017. PetPlate is widely respected as a pioneer in the fresh-cooked pet food category, one of the fastest growing categories in the $35 billion pet food industry. PetPlates relentless pursuit of excellence in the overall customer experience sets it apart. We have built a small but nimble team dedicated to providing dogs everywhere with a fresh-cooked diet that is healthy, delicious, and ready to eat. The meals are custom-portioned to meet the individual caloric needs of each and every pup, and the meals are delivered right to the pet parent’s door for ease, convenience, and peace of mind.
As a fast-growing DTC brand, we are looking for colleagues who love dogs and want to collaborate with other dog lovers to deliver the best possible experience for our furry friends and their pet parents. We are hiring at all levels and in all areas (marketing, ops, tech, finance). If you dont see a job matching your background, please send a note to petcare@petplate.com, and well reach out to learn more about each other.

We believe that if you eat good things, and surround yourself with good, you’ll feel good. Simple as that. That’s why we decided to create a food company that offers real food and simple ingredients from trusted sources, promotes good health, and tastes delicious. At Good Culture, our mission is to make real healing foods available to people without hurting the planet or our animals. We are dedicated to creating the most delicious cultured dairy products made only with the highest quality ingredients you can pronounce. Our cultured dairy products are full of clean protein, live and active cultures, and have none of the bad stuff like preservatives, added hormones or gums.
The “good” in Good Culture doesn’t just refer to our products. Good Culture has partnered with 1% for the Planet to support and protect our environment. Each time a consumer purchases a cup of Good Culture, 1 percent of the sale goes to a global network of nonprofit organizations dedicated to protecting the earth. In 2018, through 1% for the Planet, we proudly partnered with Kiss the Ground, whose efforts provide regenerative agriculture resources and training to farmers in hopes of reversing climate change. It’s our way of helping the earth heal itself.

Life’s complicated. Snacks shouldn’t be. We believe that food should bring out the best in you. So we put the best into our food. We make nutrient-dense, inspired, plant-based snacks that move you closer to wellness. That means every bite is bursting with the flavors you crave, and packed with protein, fiber, and antioxidants to fuel your life.

Farmhouse Culture® has been on the cutting edge of organic and fermented foods since its founder Kathryn Lukas started selling her sauerkraut in a local Santa Cruz farmers’ market in 2008. Since then, the company has quickly risen as a category leader in probiotic-rich foods and beverages.
Fueled by growing consumer demand for gut-healthy foods, the company has expanded its product offerings beyond the Krauts it was founded on to include more varieties of fermented vegetables, Gut Shots™ probiotic drink line, and Kraut Krisps™, a line of kraut-based snacks.
Farmhouse Culture products are available in select natural and specialty retailers across the country. To learn more about Farmhouse Culture, visit www.farmhouseculture.com.
