We are Reclamation Foods (formerly Heart & Seoul Food Co.), and we are reclaiming our collective cultural wisdom around food - that means restoring healthy soils and making use of the whole animal to nourish our community through traditional foods. Our mission is to build a climate-positive food system that promotes regenerative agriculture, regional farming and processing, and whole-animal nutrition to produce real, wholesome foods rooted in culture.

I founded this company after leaving tech to apprentice on a regenerative livestock farm. From there, I learned how rare it was in America to use the whole animal. In fact, almost half of a cow and a third of a pig are considered "inedible," according to the USDA. That's a lot we're leaving on the table, including incredible nutrition for our communities and a missed revenue opportunity for our small farmers and processors. More about our founding story here: https://reclamationfoods.com/pages/about

This year, we are part of the Union Square Holiday Market, one of the largest holiday markets in the world drawing crowds of 10k+ people every day from November to December. We are setting up a Korean Broth Bar to introduce creative ways of using our signature Korean bone broth, a traditional and warming food. In addition to wholesome sipping broths, we are incredibly excited to serve up a limited menu of broth-based lattes, including a matcha latte, turmeric latte, and a salted honey peppermint hot cocoa.

In addition to building out a CPG brand to contribute to a climate-positive food system, we're also exploring a brick and mortar concept that will be similar to the Korean Broth Bar we're setting up at the holiday market. If things go well, there may be additional long-term growth opportunities related to this business unit.
