Blue Apron founder launches next generation food company rooted in regenerative agriculture, transparency
Cooks Venture's goal is to build a better food system with a superior supply chain.
Matthew Wadiak, founder and former COO of Blue Apron, New York, created Cooks Venture, a next generation food company rooted in regenerative agriculture and transparency.
Cooks Venture acquired an 800-acre farm in Arkansas, encompassing a hatchery, pedigree chickens and barns and what is said to be the country's only biodiverse vertically integrated poultry operation, as well as two large processing facilities in Oklahoma to offer pasture-raised, heirloom, slow-growth chickens in store and via direct-to-consumer beginning in July.
