## About Grounded Foods Co.

Grounded Foods Co. is a food and beverage company that specializes in high-quality, plant-based cheese alternatives.

Founded in 2019 by Veronica Fil and Shaun Quade, the company aims to provide delicious cheese-like products that cater to both dairy lovers and those seeking sustainable eating options.
