Last week Farmwell had the chance to attend our first Expo West.
70,000+ people.
Over 3,000 brands.
All in Anaheim at once.
Itās hard to fully describe the scale of it until youāre standing in the middle of it.
For us, the week was incredibly special. Farmwell was named a finalist for a NEXTY Award, nominated a Finalist for Best New Organic Beverage of the Year, and invited to join seven other companies on stage for a pitch competition focused on products rooted in innovation.
But more than anything, the best part of the week was the people. We met so many thoughtful, passionate people who care deeply about the future of food, farming, and the role real ingredients can play in how we nourish ourselves.
There are plenty of highlight reels that capture the energy and chaos of the event. But one moment that meant a lot to us came after the show.
Ray and Melissa from gave Farmwell a shoutout on their post Expo West summary.
Having the chance to meet them during the show and hear their thoughts in person was already a highlight, but hearing them share such kind words about Farmwell and the drinks afterward truly means a lot. To hear that Farmwell was one of their favorites among so many brands at the show was incredibly humbling.
Weāre deeply proud of our farming roots. The farm and sharing about regenerative agriculture is truly at the heart of everything Farmwell does and it guides nearly every decision we make. Being able to share that part of the story with people is something weāre incredibly grateful for.
But hearing praise about the flavor of the drinks, how good they taste, means so, so much.
Getting these drinks to where they are today has truly taken years of refining, tasting, adjusting, and obsessing over the smallest details. Using real ingredients leaves less margin for error, so every detail matters.
Moments like this remind us why the journey is worth it.
And yes, please excuse the low battery notification halfway through the recording.
