"The food arm of an outdoor-apparel company is staging a San Francisco pop-up tied to a Denim & ’Dine evening on June 18, pairing a clothing-repair workshop with oysters and canned sardines; attendees are asked to RSVP in advance." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Launched about a decade ago as the food arm of an outdoor apparel company with a mission to “use business to protect nature,” this brand makes sustainably focused pantry items — from tins of smoked mackerel, Spanish white anchovies, mussels, dried mango and breadfruit crackers to buffalo jerky, wild salmon, chilis, lentil soups and other ready meals. It partners with scientists and nonprofits to create peer-reviewed standards (notably for wild salmon), promote regenerative organic agriculture, and help farmers transition to climate-beneficial practices; it also subsidizes and incentivizes growers to scale novel crops like Kernza, a perennial grain used in pasta, crackers and a nationally distributed Kernza Pils brewed with Dogfish Head. Product development blends an in-house test kitchen and chefs with food science and founder input, the company emphasizes “eat the bait” by favoring smaller, abundant fish, and pursues a plant-forward vision that encourages beans, grains and reduced animal portions while still offering lower-impact meat and seafood. It is rapidly expanding into grocery stores nationwide but is navigating inflation, supply-chain delays, and the challenge of keeping regenerative products price-accessible through discounts and policy engagement." - Dayna Evans
"Packaged as a ready-for-camping kit, this two-day meal box includes five pouched meals (red bean chili, green lentil soup, mushroom “savory grains,” red raspberry breakfast grains, and creamy banana breakfast grains), three tins of seafood (roasted garlic mackerel, savory sofrito mussels, and smoked mussels), a box of wild sockeye salmon, smoked venison links, and a chile-mango dried fruit pack, plus a hybrid menu guidebook/cookbook with serving suggestions (for example, using the sofrito mussels in a paella). Most items heat in under 10 minutes and can be prepared in a skillet or saucepan; the kit supplies roughly 2,400 calories per person per day. In tasting, the salmon was firm, flaky, and not overly smoky, the smoked mussels were excellent on crusty bread, the chili was flavorful when briefly boiled and rested then served over polenta with shaved cheddar, the breakfast grains were velvety, and the snacks were well seasoned — overall, everything in the box was enjoyable. The product line emphasizes responsible sourcing aimed at regenerating soil and ensuring animal welfare and has committed to using packaging that is reusable, compostable, renewable, or recyclable by 2025." - Katherine LaGrave
"A food brand arm of an outdoor apparel company that helped found and participate in a pilot for a regenerative certification, advocating for standards that go beyond USDA organic to emphasize soil health, stronger animal welfare, and economic fairness for producers and workers." - Lisa Elaine Held
