About Wholesome Crave
Wholesome Crave is a mission-driven, sustainable food company that produces the
healthiest, and most delicious plant-based soups in the U.S.
We DO WELL and DO GOOD. Our freshly-made, chef-inspired soups are not only
delicious and nutrient-dense, they drive positive change in the world by
directing 5% of soup sales to our sister non-profit organization Wholesome
Wave. Wholesome Wave provides private funding to community-based food
organizations that create incentives for lower-income Americans to purchase
fresh fruits and vegetables that they otherwise could not afford. The
organization has been successful advocating for federal policy to support these
programs throughout the field
Wholesome Crave was founded in 2018 by four-time James Beard award-winning chef
Michel Nischan, who is also Co-Founder and Chairman of Wholesome Wave, and led
by former CEO of Newman s Own and Weight Watchers, Mike McGrath.
Nischan s entire career has been devoted to local, regional, organic,
regenerative, and plant-forward cooking and sourcing. His vision is our vision:
a world where everyone, regardless of income, can afford and choose the high-
quality fruits and vegetables they need to lead a healthful, meaningful
lifestyle.
