March 7, 2024 | Amanda Green

February is Women’s History Month and what better way to celebrate than to support these incredible female founders building thoughtful and impactful brands? We think they’re fabulous (and some of them also delicious)! Check out our list of 9 woman-owned brands to try this month.

Birdie’s Pimento Cheese

Robin Allen, founder of Birdie’s Pimento Cheese, grew up eating pimento cheese, which is a much-beloved staple in the South!  This inspired Robin (AKA ‘Birdie”) to create her version– which she says is a ‘curious twist on tradition’ for others (not just Southerners!) to enjoy. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, Birdie’s Pimento Cheese is a premium cheese spread made in Southern Virginia. It is handmade in small batches using rich and tangy cheddar cheese combined with delectable flavors. This versatile ingredient can enhance the taste of your favorite dishes and take them to the next level. You can use it to make sandwiches and mac and cheese or spread it on hamburgers, hot dogs, bagels, nachos, and more. It’s also perfect for mixing with noodles (add some chicken or shrimp!) to create a quick and delicious meal that will satisfy your comfort food cravings. You can even use it as a dip with celery sticks, crackers, and pretzels or straight out of the fridge. Try adding it to your charcuterie board and crudités for a curious twist. Birdie’s Pimento Cheese is made with whole ingredients and spices. Using hand-shredded cheese, Birdie’s ensures the highest quality for their customers. It comes in a variety of flavors like Cream Cheese + Black Pepper, Classic, Garlic Parmesan, Jalapeño, Smoked Gouda + Roasted Red Pepper, and seasonal varieties. Gluten-free. 

Spirited Brands – Sokē and Soula

Fudgy Pops

Don’t call it a comeback! Fudgy Pops scrumptiously rich, chewy, and delicious fudge pops will remind you of your childhood, but better! These vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, ethically sourced treats contain less than 10 ingredients and are only 90 calories per pop!

The pops are available in four yummy flavors, Fudgin’ Fudge, Fudgin’ Berry, Fudgin’ Minty and, brand-new, Fudgin’ Orange. 

Crumps Naturals

Crumps Naturals are yummy, small-batch treats for your four-legged friend. Margot Crump is a lifelong dog lover, and she was frustrated by the lack of single-ingredient dog treats on the market, so in 2006 she launched Crumps’ Naturals from her family’s garage. Crumps Naturals’ treats contain no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, and they use single or limited ingredients in their family-owned and operated facility. The treats are available in flavors like sweet potato, chicken, lamb and duck and are available in small training bite sizes (perfectly portioned for any size dog), Naughty Nibbles and dental chews. Crumps Naturals uses 100% recyclable packaging.

Vision Bee Cups

These beautifully crafted porcelain flower-shaped cups are an attractive and important addition to any garden. Bee Cups hold just enough water for these thirsty pollinators to hydrate themselves (but not enough water to house mosquitoes!). Created by eco-artist, Jen Rose, Vision Bee Cups also feature an Ultraviolet ceramic glaze she invented that mimics the way flowers attract bees and can only be seen by bees’ unique ultraviolet vision.

Vision Bee Cups are a unique and sustainable gift idea combining delicate handmade art and fascinating science into a solution to combat the decline of native bees and honey bees. The company commits to using zero plastic in its packaging and production, recycles all the unusable bee cups, and strives to be zero waste. It’s Made in the USA with locally sourced materials.
