Top 10 Social Steward
PSC-accredited business for our impact work focused on the UN SDGs, and named a top-10 Social Steward for our workplace non-discrimination policies, providing a living wage and high-quality benefits for our team members.
Upcycled 23.6 tons of Spent Grains
Our Brew Biscuit line is certified by the Upcycled Food Association, and we source spent grain from local Portland breweries such as Ruse Brewing and Hopworks Urban Brewery!
Oregon Emerging Exporter of the Year
Awarded by the Oregon Consular Corps. for "significant contributions to the region's economic vitality and quality of life."
Something that they have focused on, and that I think is kind of core to their mission, is the idea of intervening and diverting that food waste and giving it a home in the pet-food industry. There is just as much safety protocol around ingredients and processes, but there is a more flexible market for those types of diverted food-waste products. They’re doing a really great job and utilizing grains from breweries and other ingredients that would otherwise have gone to waste or not have been used in a way that was creating value.
