#37 - Kerry Hopkins - Pollen + Grace [Mission Kitchen Special Part 3]

In the final episode of our 3 part Mission Kitchen special, I have the pleasure of sitting down with Kerry Hopkins - Head of Brand at Pollen + Grace.

Pollen + Grace have been championing healthy, fresh, plant-based food for a decade now, and they don’t show any signs of slowing down.

I loved digging into Kerry’s time there pretty much since day one! What is it about her role that’s kept her engaged for 10 years, how has the brand evolved and changed.

What challenges have they had to overcome, and what does the future hold for them?

There truly is SO much richness to be had here and I am a HUGE fan of the brand!
