The Groundwork Coffee Company, for example, received its Regenerative Organic Certification (ROC) certification, making it one of the first businesses to roast organic coffee in California and Portland. Criteria for the ROC certification include enhancing biodiversity and protecting workers’ rights. Similarly, Holistic Roasters also relies on biodynamic regenerative farming techniques to deliver unique and clean blends to consumers.
Nostalgia also plays a substantial role in the June 2023 food round-up. Ben & Jerry’s recently debuted the Ice Cream Sammie pint, a nostalgic flavor inspired by the classic ice cream sandwich. Elsewhere, businesses like Beatrice Bakery are emphasizing the value of tradition with flavorful fruitcakes that follow grandma’s recipe.
