Chompcast Ep. 13: Co-founders of 88 Acres, Rob Dalton and Nicole Ledoux

Written by The Chomps Crew on February 06, 2023

Every week on Chompcast, our co-founders Pete and Rashid interview industry leaders, aspiring and current business owners for 15-30 minute ‘fireside chats’.

Together, they'll be sharing valuable insights, learnings, advice and anecdotes.

Within each episode, you'll leave with key takeaways and valuable information from the people Pete and Rashid get the honor to speak with.

During this week's episode of Chompcast, Pete and Rashid, our founders, sit down with the founders of the seed-based butter and granola brand, 88 Acres, founded by Rob Dalton and Nicole Ledoux. From learning to how these two founders met (and are now married!) to what made them start this business (hint: Rob had a nut allergy!) to more, you'll fall in love with this Boston-based CPG brand.
