Judd added, “Laird Superfood has tremendous growth potential to leverage with the opportunity to help consumers make everyday occasions even better through a great portfolio of coffee, creamers, nutritional beverages, and snacks that taste amazing. I joined LSF because I know there is a disruptive movement happening where consumers are reevaluating each product in their health and wellness journey and on each shopping occasion. LSF is uniquely positioned to serve them in this intersection across all channels whether it's brick-and-mortar, omnichannel platforms, or e-commerce.”
