The Very Good Food Company Inc. (NASDAQ: VGFC) (TSXV: VERY.V) (FSE: 0SI) ("VERY GOOD" or the "Company"), a leading plant-based food technology company, today released a corporate video update featuring CEO and co-founder Mitchell Scott highlighting recent Company developments and offering insight into expected growth through the coming year including shots of the production facilities.

Of particular note were announcements of increased wholesale distribution across the U.S. and Canada, as well as an update on production capability following growth in consumer demand for innovative plant-based goods. With target production capability to increase to an average of 40,000 pounds per day in Q4 2021, VERY GOOD is aiming to build the capacity to produce 60,000 pounds of delicious plant-based, bean-packed product per day in Q1 2022 as its products continue to gain traction with consumers.

Seeing the U.S. demand for plant-based goods rising amid environmental impact concerns and an interest in wider accessibility to meat alternatives, The Very Good Food Company is now in 1,060 stores throughout 15 states, with the addition of all 23 of Earth Fare's locations across the Southern U.S. Consumers can order via the brand’s website and through Amazon with options to subscribe for regular deliveries. By the end of August 2021 alone, the brand has fulfilled more than 55,000 orders, an increase of 15,000 from last year’s total sales of 40,000 orders; this number is expected to grow with the NEXTY award-winning Mmm...Meatballs and the new Butcher’s Select line receiving outstanding reviews from media and consumers alike.
