What It Is

Hemp Way Foods is a plant-based food brand and wholesale supplier based in Colorado, USA. Founded by Carla Boyd in 2014, it was originally created to address personal food allergy issues. The brand uses hemp seeds as its core protein source and focuses on vegan meat alternatives that are free from common allergens, including gluten, soy, dairy, corn, GMOs, and THC. It primarily supplies restaurants, grocery stores, and health food markets through B2B wholesale channels.

Key Dimensions

• Platform/Service Type: A vertical B2B wholesale supplier of plant-based foods, not a traditional e-commerce platform.
• Product Selection/Supply Chain: An in-house brand with products handmade in a kitchen rather than synthesized in a lab. Its core ingredients include hemp seeds and other superfoods, with an emphasis on ingredient transparency and high bioavailability. The current product lineup includes Original Hemp Burgers, Burger Crumbles, and Italian Breakfast Sausage.
• Logistics & Fulfillment: Products are pre-packaged and frozen, requiring no thawing and only a few minutes to cook, making them very convenient for foodservice clients. However, fulfillment depends on cold-chain logistics.
• Supported Markets/Regions: Currently focused mainly on the U.S. market, especially restaurants and supermarkets in Colorado and surrounding areas.

Pricing

The website does not publicly list specific product prices. As a B2B wholesale business, merchants need to submit an inquiry through the website to obtain a quote, following a typical quote-based pricing model.

Pros and Cons

• Pros: Natural and healthy ingredients, with a firm commitment to avoiding chemical additives such as methylcellulose; multiple industry awards, including “Best Colorado Hemp Food,” giving the brand strong credibility; frozen pre-packaged design greatly lowers the cooking barrier for B2B restaurant clients.
• Cons: The product line is relatively limited, with only three core products; not very consumer-friendly for individual shoppers, as there is no direct online purchase option; although the products themselves are allergen-free, the production facility handles other nuts and similar ingredients, so there is a risk of cross-contamination.

Who It’s For

Best suited for B2B buyers such as restaurants, grocery stores, and health food retailers looking for healthy vegan meat alternatives. It is also suitable for vegetarians who are allergic to soy, gluten, and similar ingredients and who prioritize natural ingredients, though they would need to purchase through retail channels.

Access from China

The website’s servers are located in the United States and can be accessed directly from China without network restrictions. However, due to its B2B cold-chain food model, it currently does not support direct shipping to China, so domestic users can mainly use it for brand research.
