Hi, Guy.
Hi, Jonah.
My name is Melissa Bermudez, and I'm calling from Newburyport, Massachusetts.
I'm the co-founder and CEO of Unrefined Foods.
We make mornings easier for busy families with farm-to-freezer nutrition they can trust.
Our frozen muffins are just like homemade, but better, loaded with stone-milled organic grains, real fruits and veggies, just a little maple syrup, and they're ready to eat.
So there are not many frozen muffins in the grocery store that are ready to eat.
So we make everything with 100% organic stone milled grains.
So that means we're truly taking a wheat berry, which in our opinion is the original superfood, milling it, keeping all the nutrition and flavor of the entire grain intact, and taking that fresh flour,
putting it in our muffins and a ton of other really great ingredients you'd use at home if you were trying to make power muffins like olive oil, again, real fruits and veggies, maple syrup, whole milk, eggs.
And unbelievably, there's nothing else like it in the grocery store that we are aware of.
Yeah, we started just over a year ago.
We launched right around the holidays 2024, all direct to consumer and farmers markets.
And we've been in wholesale for about eight months now.
Exactly.
Yep.
Small, independent retailers.
We're really close to Boston, so there's a lot of home delivery services that we also sell to.
And that's really how we want to grow.
We did direct-to-consumer as a frozen product.
