Bolthouse Fresh Foods’ Post

With grocery prices so high and on everyone’s mind. Savings matter to everyone. But that said. People still love discovering new brands and products. That new product they didn’t know yet they couldn’t live without. We’ve been intentionally leaning into “discovery” at Merryfield, PBC and the feedback from our consumers has been noticed for sure. We’ve gotten way more nice notes and zendrsk comments about recent brand partners than ever before. We’ve earned some trust with our audience and they know that all brands at Merryfield meet the same high ingredients standards. It makes trying new things easier for people that care about what they’re buying. Curated discovery is proving to big for us so we’re going to keep leaning in. Just in the last weeks new partners like. CLEAN Cause FLY BY JING Daily Harvest Good Foods Group, LLC Haven's Kitchen Bowery Farming Athletic Brewing Co.

The closing of Dom's & Foxtrot is a painful turn of events for their employees and the many local and emerging brands that have been left in lurch because of it. Fresh Picks will do whatever we can to support them. It's also a loss for the Chicago food system. Whereas local food for most other retailers is little more than lip service, both Dom's and Foxtrot were genuinely committed to elevating local suppliers and emerging brands, and they did so quite effectively. If you don't know Fresh Picks yet and local food is important to you, now is a great time to give us a try. On average, well over half of our entire assortment is local, often sourced directly from the producer. As a way to support local producers, all new customers can get 15% off their first order with the code OUTFOX. Check us out at freshpicks.com. You won't have any trouble finding local suppliers! #localfood #getalittlelocal #localfoodchicago #eatwell #personalizedgrocery #buildabetterfoodsystem

🌱🥢 AFTER POPULAR DEMAND, THE BEYOND ORANGE CHICKEN IS BACK AT PANDA EXPRESS It took over 7,200 signatures on a 16-month-long petition for Panda Express to realise that enough people wanted its plant-based orange chicken back. So finally, three years after what became one of the fast-food chain’s most successful regional launches ever, the Beyond Original Orange Chicken has returned to its US menu. The vegan dish will be available at around 300 Panda Express locations nationwide. Like the first time, this rollout is on a limited-edition basis, although the companies suggest that “if consumer enthusiasm continues, there’s potential for expansion into additional Panda Express restaurants”. A little history lesson: the orange chicken was first launched at Panda Express in 1987 and quickly became a favourite. It now makes up roughly a third of the chain’s business. Think about that. That’s one dish. So when the Beyond Original Orange Chicken was introduced, there was a frenzy. On launch day, Panda Express sold 1,300 lbs of the dish in New York City and Southern California. Stores in the latter area actually sold out of the initial rollout within two weeks. After a national rollout to over 2,300 locations, Panda Express finally ran out of the stock and gradually ended the offering. People were not happy. The return of the Beyond orange chicken is a certain win for the plant-based meat company. Both the business and the industry it’s in have taken their fair share of knocks in the last couple of years: Beyond Meat has had eight consecutive quarters of losses, while retail sales of plant-based meat fell by 12% in the US last year.

Let's look back to the Stone Age. Cavemen huddle around a fire to cook their food. This is essentially the origin story of food service. Back then, they built their meals around a simple framework: a plan, readily available ingredients, and some hunting and gathering. These core principles of recipes, planning, inventory, procurement, and production have stood the test of time. They are the foundation on which every culinary masterpiece is built, from caveman to Michelin-star restaurants. At Galley, we believe in a better way of doing things. Our culinary resource planning tool doesn't reinvent the wheel; it streamlines it. It takes the five fundamental processes and distills them into a powerful, user-friendly interface. With Galley, food service operators are liberated from the mundane tasks of managing the basics. They can now focus on what truly matters: their menus, experimenting with business models and even working on their supply chain. This newfound freedom isn't just about efficiency; it's about creating new business and logistics models. What exciting possibilities do you see for the future of food service?
