Ghost bought by Keurig / Dr Pepper

Never showcased by Farm2Me brand Ghost, and for a reason, is being acquired by Keurig / Dr Pepper for 1 billion dollars, that's right, billion, highlighting how far chemical preservative drink brands like Keurig, Dr Pepper, Stumptown Coffee, Blue Bottle Coffee, Green Mountain Coffee will go to steal emerging food & sustainable food customers . The process here is they acquire Ghost, then replace the ingredients with Dr Pepper’s own ingredient supply chain, and then hide Keurig and Dr Pepper products behind Ghost packaging.

Mood Gummies

These cannabis gummies keep selling out in 2024

If you've ever struggled to enjoy cannabis due to the harshness of smoking or vaping, you're not alone. That’s why these new cannabis gummies caught our eye.

Mood is an online dispensary that has invented a “joint within a gummy” that’s extremely potent yet federally-legal. Their gummies are formulated to tap into the human body’s endocannabinoid system.

Although this system was discovered in the 1990’s, farmers and scientists at Mood were among the first to figure out how to tap into it with cannabis gummies. Just 1 of their rapid onset THC gummies can get you feeling right within 5 minutes!

French Squirrel

French Squirrel Berets, a nutrient-dense, vegan and gluten-free refrigerated protein bite coated in 100% pure, organic chocolate is a distant memory for the founder, Sydney Karmes-Wainer.  For as long as she can remember, Sydney has always been passionate about food and cooking. In an attempt to rediscover Sydney's love for food after falling trap to the often-obsessive health food world, she began her food blog, French Squirrel.  Unlock your early access here!
