🌱 Happy Chinese New Year! 🐉 Year of the Snake
Pea shoots aren`t just delicious; they symbolize growth, prosperity, and the arrival of spring. 🌿 This vibrant green vegetable is a must-have during the Lunar New Year, adding a touch of luck to every meal. 🍀
Our Pea Shoot greens are fresh, sweet and tender. Great for soups, risotto, stir fry, avocado toast, sauteed with lemon and garlic. They are also incredibly nutritious with 10% more protein than a serving of peas, as well as 7x the amount of vitamin K and nearly 2x the amount of calcium!

In honor of the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday, we want to recognize his immeasurable impact on the Civil Rights Movement for all marginalized people, including people with disabilities. Here are some of our favorite quotes and we invite all of you to share more in the comments!!
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
“Why should there be hunger and privation in any land, in any city, at any table when man has the resources and the scientific know-how to provide all mankind with the basic necessities of life.”
“Of all forms of discrimination and inequalities, injustice in health is the most shocking and inhumane.”
[Image Description: A black and white photo of a group of people at a protest, some individuals who are wheelchair users, carrying a sign that reads, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. - Martin Luther King Jr.”]

The annual Maine Lobster Dip on January 1st was maybe not a “swimming” success but a success nonetheless. Although the dip was canceled, folks gathered by the sea shore for a big party and helped raise thousands of dollars for Special Olympics Maine. Thank you to everyone on our team, donated, showed up and participated with us. We will be soaking our bones in the cool ocean come Summer time.

As we look back on 2024, we reflect on all of our milestones and memories. Our accomplishments extend from finishing construction of our new farm, making meaningful partnerships in the Maine community, securing $59 million from the USDA & C-PACE, installing new equipment, progressing on our product R&D, reinvigorating our food safety program in our Jackson farm and training employees for upwards mobility. Thank you to everyone who has supported and stood by us as we uphold our mission to grow both food and futures. We head into 2025 with gratitude.

With Thanksgiving just one week away, we celebrated with our own Friendsgiving. Gathering around food is kind of our thing, so you best believe we love this kind of Holiday. Together we shared delicious home cooked foods and so much gratitude for the humans that make up this incredible company.
