The entrepreneurial duo reveal the average gross margin across the core SKUs is about 25% and that manufacturing efficiencies could bring the number up to 40% in the next 12 months.

The two completed a convertible note round with friends and family and a Series A that led to the acquisition of a 16,000 square foot facility in 2019 – and it’s been onwards and upwards ever since. The entrepreneurial duo established the company in 2014 and began making plant-based food products at Blue Ridge Food Ventures, a food incubator space on the campus of AB Tech in Asheville. The business operated from this 800 square foot, shared use facility until 2019. No Evil Nutrition’s target market has sustainability high on their agenda. Therefore, engaging with measuring, reducing, and offsetting their carbon footprint to reach Certified Carbon Neutral felt like the right thing to do to align even more with their company values and increasing the value of their products to their customers.
