From Local Roots to Frozen Delights
Rootberry, founded in 2021, initially delivered fresh, prepared meals exclusively in its hometown, St. Louis, before making its way into retail outlets. This latest launch marks the brand's foray into the world of frozen food, hot on the heels of its nationwide delivery of prepared plant-based meals in July 2023.
Co-Founder and President of Rootberry, Marc Connor, said, "Rootberry was founded to help more people eat plants more often, and expanding to the frozen food aisle is the next logical step for us. We're proud of the growth of our meals, snacks, and sides, and now we're ready to deliver joy through delicious, easy-to-make bites perfect for family gatherings, watching the big game, or satisfying those late-night cravings."
Beyond Dierbergs Markets
In addition to Dierbergs, Rootberry's frozen dumplings will soon grace the shelves of university convenience stores and be available for food service. Their signature prepared meals, desserts, and energy bites are already accessible in select grocery stores, universities, hospitals, and corporate offices across Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Georgia, with plans for more expansion in the pipeline. Rootberry's commitment to bringing wholesome plant-based options to the masses continues to flourish, one delectable bite at a time.

Just launched: Laughing in the Face of Chaos by Rudá Iandê
Exhausted from trying to hold it all together?
You show up. You smile. You say the right things. But under the surface, something’s tightening. Maybe you don’t want to “stay positive” anymore. Maybe you’re done pretending everything’s fine.
This book is your permission slip to stop performing. To understand chaos at its root and all of your emotional layers.
In Laughing in the Face of Chaos, Brazilian shaman Rudá Iandê brings over 30 years of deep, one-on-one work helping people untangle from the roles they’ve been stuck in—so they can return to something real. He exposes the quiet pressure to be good, be successful, be spiritual—and shows how freedom often lives on the other side of that pressure.
This isn’t a book about becoming your best self. It’s about becoming your real self.
