Mr. Jim Kras, Chief Executive Officer of Edible Garden, commented, “At last year’s Natural Products EXPO WEST® 2023, KeHE Distributors selected Edible Garden as one of their top picks to visit.  We are delighted to announce that just one short year later, our Pulp line of sustainable, gourmet USDA Organic fermented sauces is now available through KeHE Distributors, the premier distributor of natural & organic, specialty, and fresh products, encompassing their 31,000 natural food stores, chain and independent grocery stores, e-commerce retailers, and other specialty products retailers located across North America.  This builds off recent distribution wins at Target, Whole Foods, Dierbergs, Woodman’s, and other big-name retailers. The introduction of the Pulp line has been met with positive feedback from sauce lovers everywhere. Upon trying the products, consumers have become fans of the unique peppers and the “Bland to Bold’ taste they add to their meals, aligning with Edible Garden's reputation as 'The Flavor Maker.' With KeHE's extensive national distribution network carrying the Pulp line, we are highly optimistic that this collaboration will significantly boost the growth and visibility of both the Pulp line and the Edible Garden brand."
