About Plantega

Plantega is a unique food access initiative and distribution platform for plant based food. We have launched as a 3-month pilot in 3 independent corner stores (better known as bodegas in NYC) located in underserved communities. We are bringing products from some of the biggest plant-based brands, including Beyond Meat®, Eat Just, Good Catch, Miyoko’s, No Evil Foods, Follow Your Heart, Lupii, Pan’s Mushroom Jerky, nutpods, Hälsa Foods and Tofurky. We’re selling over 30 products at these locations via a unique branded cooler installation and a special grill menu that features iconic New York City bodega foods like “The Breakfast Sausage Egg and Cheese Sandwich”, “The Chopped Cheese Sandwich,” and more.

Joining me on this episode are Andrew Arietta from Effect Partners and Erick Castro, the talent behind the Instagram account How to be Vegan in the Hood. They are part of the incredible team that has been working tirelessly with me to bring Plantega to life.
