TEWKSBURY, Mass., April 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Walden Local Meat Co., a direct-to-consumer share program that hand-delivers local, sustainably raised and sourced meat, seafood and dairy to members' doorsteps across the Northeast, and B.GOOD, an innovative, fast casual, farm-to-table restaurant chain serving wholesome food with an emphasis on sourcing locally, have announced that Walden Local Meat Co. will be the provider of ground beef for B.GOOD's hand-crafted burger patties starting today. This partnership further solidifies both brands' mission to grow local, New England communities and economies while providing people with nutritious, sustainable foods. The partnership marks the first time that Walden Local will provide their beef to a restaurant at this scale and is one of the widest-ranging partnerships with truly local meat in the region.

"At Walden Local, we're committed to growing local economies, and creating healthier, more responsible food options for our communities," said Nancy Pak, CEO of Walden Local Meat Co. "We were thrilled to find a partner in B.GOOD that is equally as values-driven and committed to our local agriculture. We're looking forward to expanding the reach of this quality food and serving the B.GOOD customers throughout New England."

"We were initially drawn to Walden Local because of its loyal ties to local farmers and focus on sustainable foods, both of which are incredibly important to B.GOOD," said Chris Freeman, CEO of B.GOOD. "As we launch this partnership, we're thrilled to not only be offering local, environmentally-friendly meat but also unbelievably delicious burgers that we know our customers will enjoy to the last bite."

To kick-off the partnership, Walden Local and B.GOOD will each donate a burger to The Greater Boston Food Bank for every burger sold across B.GOOD locations on April 22 and 23, 2023.
