Yes, please! One of our core goals is to improve the availability of vegetables—making it easier to enjoy veggies, no matter where you are. We are always looking for partners who share that vision.

Not at all. Whether you're vegan, flexitarian, or a meat lover, Veggies First is for anyone who wants to eat better—starting with more veggies on your plate. We make it easy (and enjoyable) to add veggies to your daily routine, no matter your lifestyle.
