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.

We had a blast in Maine meeting new and old friends, connecting on our love for foods, economic inclusion and innovation. As National Disability Employment Awareness Month comes to an end, we are reminded that every human has the right to meaningful work. Thank you to everyone who participated in last week’s Open House and NDEAM event. Here is a little recap of the week with special guest Jackson’s Biggest Rockstar!
