A Female-Founded No-Harm Hub
This mother-daughter duo is on a mission: to get more no-harm products into the hands of eager customers. Here's the 411 on their brand new virtual marketplace.
Join CE as we celebrate International Women’s Day! This March 8th, we’re highlighting remarkable women making noteworthy strides in the food industry.
Women-owned marketplace Upbeet + Rooted, a community where vegan, plant-based and cruelty-free lifestyles can come together to live out the mantra of “do no harm,” launched virtually this January! Kim Bohstedt and Diane Mantel, the mother-daughter duo behind the marketplace, journeyed from Chicago to Florida, hosting pop-up shops to showcase goodies from brands sharing Upbeet + Rooted’s ethos. Due to COVID-19, the businesswomen had to find a new avenue to showcase their thoughtfully selected goodies and continue to help their vendors’ businesses.
