New Hope Network’s Post

Now that Newtopia Now is in the books, we checked in with the founders and leaders of several emerging conscious CPG brands who exhibited at the show to get their perspectives on the first-time trade show and conference. With a re-imagined concept that incorporated high visibility standardized booth designs, tabletop pavilions, educational session right on the show floor, interactive meeting lounges, and an intimate floor layout that evened out the playing field, emerging and early-stage brands received significant buyer attention at the inaugural Newtopia Now. More than 7,000 attendees registered for the event and 560 brands exhibited at the show. Many were first-time exhibitors, coming from diverse backgrounds. Yet, these entrepreneurs all shared that gathering with buyers, influencers, business leaders, industry experts and others was of great value in building relationships, learning about the natural retail market and growing their businesses and brands.

Recent buzz and consumer research shows consumers of all ages are interested in longevity and improving health span, not just older folks. Let’s start by defining what we mean by health span. Health span is defined as the period of one's life that is healthy or free from serious disease. Today, more consumers are prioritizing preventive health measures to ensure they age with quality in mind, not just quantity. You might think that this category mostly consists of health nuts and serious optimizers, but in recent Nutrition Business Journal consumer research, the data suggests otherwise.

As with so many independent natural products retailers, Bristol Farms got its start long before the industry moved mainstream. The first Bristol Farms, opened in 1982 by Irv Gronsky and Mike Burbank, served as a community grocer in Rolling Hills, California. Today, 13 Bristol Farms stores dot Southern California. Decades of experience navigating the industry’s wilderness of consumer forces and movements has made Bristol Farms’ trends antennae keenly sensitive. Some trends take off and lead to strong long-term sales. Others amount to brief eruptions of consumer interest before drifting away. Bristol Farms works hard to invest in the trends that stick.

“It’s not astronaut food,” says milkadamia Founder and CEO James (Jim) Richards. But after people taste it and understand it, “enthusiasm rockets.” Printed sheets of oat milk may sound like something out of the NASA lab—or the USS Enterprise galley. But the milk is as natural as you can get, Richards says. It’s the delivery format that’s so hi-tech it could spark a smile in emotion-less Mr. Spock under an oat milk mustache, of course. The Organic Oat Milk is printed by a giant 2D printer. The consumer tears off a portion of a sheet, adds water and blends for under a minute or soaks it overnight. They can make as much fresh oat milk as they’d like for that serving, which helps reduce food waste. Each pack contains eight sheets, which can make a half a gallon of oat milk.
