“Kraft Heinz welcomes the opportunity to partner with innovative emerging platforms, like Farmstead, which offer consumers differentiated value in grocery ordering and delivery,” said Jacob Stewart, Head of eCommerce Sales at Kraft Heinz.
“Our research shows that most families go to multiple grocery stores to find everything they need within their budget,” said Pradeep Elankumaran, Founder and CEO of Farmstead. “Farmstead’s goal is to be the only grocer a household needs - with this Kraft Heinz partnership, we’re now able to source more mainstream grocery items.
