Daily Harvest Corporate Office

Daily Harvest was founded by Rachel Drori in 2014.

The company operates a subscription-based food delivery service intended to offer healthy, plant based frozen foods. The company delivers food and beverages that are developed by nutritionists and include items such as smoothies, soups, bowls, lattes, and breakfast options, enabling health-conscious subscribers to eat pre-portioned foods without having to cook.

The company released a study, published in January 2020, that at least 72% of Americans admit that they do not eat a fresh fruit or vegetable every day.

Daily Harvest wants to change that by offering easy to heat or defrost frozen fruit and veggie options.

While these meals are very nutritious, they aren’t designed to live off of, which means most people will still need to visit their local grocery store. The company has also been criticized for the price of their packages, as well as the fact that not all of the packaging is recyclable.

In January 2021 the company announced that it was going to offer a cleaner, more healthy option to the plant-based milk formulas (Almond milk) that are available in most grocery stores.

Daily Harvest maintains a corporate office in New York, New York.

Nuts.Com Corporate Office

Sol Braverman sold a variety of nuts from his store on Mulberry Street in Newark, New Jersey. Originally called Newark Nuts, Braverman’s grandchildren decided to go online to sell their products. In 1999, the company was renamed simply Nuts.Com.

As the name implies, the company sells every type of nut you can imagine; peanuts, pistachios, pecans, and pine nuts, to cashews, almonds, and filberts, in salted, unsalted, and organic varieties.

The company is still owned and operated by the Braverman family. In 2015, the Braverman’s decided they wanted a new look for their product but still retain that “family” feel. The new packaging is cartoon images of nuts designed to look like members of the Braverman family.

Today, the company sells more than 3,000 items online, including dried fruit, flour, even vegan marshmallows.

The company maintains a corporate office in Cranford, New Jersey.
