Davis, California — Arcadia Biosciences, Inc. and Three Farm Daughters, LLLP have just announced that they will form a strategic business venture. The later is a female-owned consumer food company, and the aim of the partnership is to develop and market Three Farm Daughters food products using Arcadia’s patented non-GMO GoodWheat technology.
Arcadia’s GoodWheat can contain up to 10 times the dietary fiber of traditional wheat, and up to 65% less allergenic gluten. On top of that the specialty wheat can contain nearly 30% fewer calories per serving than traditional wheat.
The companies have agreed as part of the partnership, to develop Three Farm Daughters-branded food products such as flour, pastas and crackers which will all utilize the enhanced nutrition of GoodWheat ingredients. The enhanced products will be sold in grocery stores nationwide, on Amazon and through the company’s website: www.threefarmdaughters.com.
“Three Farm Daughters shares our commitment to healthy, high-quality food ingredients and clean labels,” explains President and Chief Executive Officer of Arcadia Biosciences, Matthew Plavan. “We are excited to bring our GoodWheat ingredients to market under the Three Farm Daughters brand and look forward to new and continued innovation to meet growing consumer demand for healthier food options.”
“At Three Farm Daughters, we are passionate about healthful food and uncompromising when it comes to quality, taste and performance,” said President and Co-Founder of Three Farm Daughters, Mollie Ficocello. “Our family has proudly grown GoodWheat wheat varieties for years, and we know first-hand the difference healthier, quality ingredients make in our diets and lifestyles. And now, we are thrilled to bring our products to the market and help consumers take the guesswork out of healthy eating with our Three Farm Daughters brand.”
Three Farm Daughters expects to launch its refined, non-enriched wheat flour – their first product -- in September.
The partnership comes after Arcadia announced it plans to bring its GoodWheat portfolio of specialty wheat ingredients to China and Israel through a separate collaboration with Corner Foods.
