July 23, 2015 by Jon Langford

Her company, Meadows and More, supplies wild and foraged plants to restaurants and food companies all over New York and New Jersey (including FreshDirect, yay!). Read our interview after the jump.

Meet the Makers: Wandering Bear Cold Brew

July 22, 2015 by Jon Langford

“The wandering bear is my spirit animal,” says Wandering Bear cofounder Ben Gordon as he welcomes the FreshDirect team to his small factory in Queens. “I always knew I wanted to start a company called Wandering Bear, I just didn’t know what it was I was going to sell.” Thankfully for iced coffee fans that “what” turned out to be cold brew.

Interview with Hint Water CEO Kara Goldin

March 12, 2015 by Jon Langford

We all know how important it is to drink water, but let’s be honest, plain old H2O can be a little, well, bland. Hint CEO Kara Goldin felt so strongly about this that just over a decade ago she left her job as an AOL executive and began developing a sugar-free water beverage that offered a healthier alternative to sodas and drinks infused with diet sweeteners.
