Company description

We celebrate difference in food and in life. We make products that are less meat rather than meatless—and less meat means more veggies, too! First up, we’re putting a new spin on sausage: our sausages are half-veggie and half-humanely-raised chicken. It’s a perfect blend of SAUSAGE FOR VEGGIES LOVERS and VEGGIES FOR SAUSAGE LOVERS.

We are food lovers first, and innovators second (vegetable pun fans third, but that’s less important). We stand firm in our belief that food is meant to delight and create change. We are a mission-based company with a team that has spent years finding unique ways to solve problems within the food system; doing our part to fight climate change with products and brand. We’ve always done things a little differently, we’re proud of that.

Our community is our culture. Who's never felt a little misfit or out
of place? We're laying the foundation for a movement that empowers omnivores to sustainably rebalance mealtimes with products that are tasty, convenient and veggie-forward. We are a young and dynamic company on our way to becoming a global consumer brand, by and for people who give a damn.

MISFITS WELCOME.
