Mr. Jim Kras, Chief Executive Officer of Edible Garden, stated, "We are pleased that Dierbergs Markets will begin carrying our Pulp Sustainable Gourmet Sauces across their entire retail network in the St. Louis metropolitan area. The inclusion of Dierbergs enhances our distribution reach throughout the Midwest region of the United States. We believe their relative proximity to our new Edible Garden Heartland facility in Grand Rapids, Michigan will allow the Company to service them with ease, further leveraging the additional capacity created as a result of the opening of the facility last year. In addition, customers in the St Louis metropolitan area with a strong affinity for tasty, sustainable, and USDA Organic fermented products will now have an opportunity to purchase these ‘Bland to Bold’ Pulp sustainable sauces and taste them for themselves.”

“This move to produce sustainable, gourmet sauces underscores our dedication to sustainability and product innovation. The Pulp line epitomizes our commitment to both environmental responsibility and culinary excellence. As we further our geographical reach, more consumers will have the chance to experience the unique flavors and benefits of our products. Dierbergs Markets, with its strong reputation in the St. Louis metropolitan area, is an ideal partner for this endeavor. Their dedication to quality aligns seamlessly with our Zero-Waste Inspired® mission and values. This collaboration, coming on the heels of our recent agreement with Morton-Williams Supermarkets, highlights Edible Garden's building momentum in this product category. Feedback that we have already received from retailers and consumers across our distribution network has been extremely positive and we look forward to announcing similar agreements in the near future. Looking ahead, the Company remains committed to our core values and mission, and we eagerly anticipate the opportunities the future holds for Edible Garden and our loyal customers.”
