ABOUT
Charles Davis
Founder
Charles grew up fascinated by the bustling delis, dim sum halls, bakeries, and markets of New York City that his family frequented and was raised with a passionate appreciation of food, the stories it tells, and its power to bring people together.
A veteran of the specialty food world, he started his career behind the cheese counter of Zingerman's Deli, practicing servant leadership, running shifts, creating and teaching classes, and traveling the world to learn about food.
Since then he's spent years developing life-long industry connections and promoting extraordinary brands through various retail and food service partners nationwide. He specializes in business development, food education, and inspiring others.

PARTNERS
Burlap & Barrel is a Public Benefit Corporation building new international spice supply chains that are equitable, transparent, and traceable.
They connect farmers to high-value markets, educate consumers about the human impact of traceable sourcing, and deliver exceptional spices and foods with true terroir that are grown traditionally and sustainably.
They continue to nourish a community of conscientious chefs and cooks who appreciate the distinctive flavors that come from where their spices are grown and who understand the importance of supporting small farms—both locally and globally.
Le Zette is a passionate producer of old world-style sheep’s milk yogurt with the goal of healing the food system one gut at a time.
They’re born out of family, based out of Los Angeles, and uplift small-scale dairy farmers. Everything is small-batch and hand-made in a small kitchen and contains no preservatives, gums, or additives.
While their products are luxurious, tangy, creamy, and delicious, they’re also packed with healthy proteins, probiotics, and nutrients. Classified as A2 dairy, Le Zette’s sheep’s milk contains the same beta-casein protein as human milk, twice the protein of cow’s milk, and is friendlier to lactose-intolerant guts.
