As we reflect on the amazing journey of our RIPE brands, we are filled with immense pride. Each one of them started as an emerging brand, but through hard work and determination, they have become true success stories. We believe in their potential and ability to reach even greater heights, as they continue to inspire and pave the way for others. Our heartfelt wishes for their continued success!
I am filled with gratitude for programs like the #RIPE program, which uplifts diverse women-owned emerging brands like ours, providing a platform for our voices to be heard. As we will be soon approaching a full year with Fresh Direct #RIPE, I can't help but reflect on the invaluable learnings gained in this vibrant retail ecosystem. Thanks to #RIPE, we secured our first local distribution partner within NYC, a milestone for which I am eternally grateful. It has been a constant learning.. from self distributing from our garage to now in proper distribution channels, understanding the sentiment of the audience we serve.. a fantastic entrepreneurial journey with FreshDirect I am deeply thankful for our fellow cohort members, Fresh Direct staff Loan Heilner Abby Wizel Katie Zapata Lauren Moore Jangl, from whom we continuously learn and grow, refining our brand's performance in the ecosystem and striving to better ourselves. Super thrilled to share that we've been featured for #AAPIHeritageMonth with Fresh Direct, a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our #ancientIndian culture and heritage while reaching new audiences. Thank you to everyone who has supported and believed in us on this journey. Your encouragement and partnership mean the world to us. with... Bradley Gifford Spoonful Terranut, Inc.
