The seven Spring ‘24 Track brands are:
: Curation is on a mission to disrupt the alcohol space by curating premium beverage experiences. Founder Jake Buzaid saw an opportunity to bring the natural foods approach to bev-alc by focusing on the transparency and quality of their products’ ingredients. Curation’s collection of canned alcoholic beverages includes spirit-based craft cocktails, vodka hard seltzers, and wine spritzers, sold separately in 4-packs and together as the first-ever multi-category “Party Pack.”
Heather’s Choice makes tasty dehydrated meals, catering to the outdoor adventure market with an eye toward health and quality. Founder Heather Kelly believed there needed to be better options for people like her who enjoyed outdoor activities like backpacking and rafting. Heather’s Choice offers products for every meal - from breakfast to dinner. One of its most popular offering is a line of coconut-based cookies called Packaroons.
Rooted in the heart of L.A.'s culinary scene, I Love Micheladas is the brainchild of the Lopez siblings - Paulina, Bricia, and Fernando - whose dedication to Oaxacan culture and cuisine has made it the city's go-to michelada brand. Their mission is simple: to share the joy of legit Mexican flavors through carefully crafted michelada mixes designed for convenience and exceptional taste, everytime.
Kelsi's Kitchen makes delicious and better for you chocolate using only five core, nutrient dense ingredients. Founded by Cassandra Hume and raw food chef, Kelsi Petersen, the Cacao Bites come in five different flavors, each one crafted to deliver mouth-melting, soul-satisfying flavor: Salted Peanut Caramel, Double Chocolate, Raspberry, Mint and Peanut Butter.
Ohh! Foods is on a mission to make snacking safer and a lot sweeter by creating a line of snacks that are vegan, gluten free, and free from the top 10 allergens. Founder Brittany Charlton was inspired to create Ohh! Foods because of her own tree nut and peanut allergy, which forced her to cut out many of the snacks she adored. Ohh!’s selection includes Snacking Bites, Cookie Dough and Frosting.
: Sanara, founded by Rebekah Jasso Jensen, offers luxurious mind and body care rituals crafted with indigenous Latin American botanicals for the spa + beauty markets. The name Sanara comes from the Spanish word, sanará which means “you will heal.” Her TRANQUILA Collection is a thoughtfully curated assortment of body care that is used by Four Seasons, Omni and Auberge Resorts for their spa treatments.
: Veterinarian Dr. Zonram Liao created Wellnergy Pets out of a desire to improve the lives of people and their pets by providing the best at-home pet care in the form of high-quality pet products and supplements.
