About

Breyers is a premium ice cream brand known for its "All Natural" positioning — producing ice cream with simplified, recognizable ingredients (real milk and cream, cane sugar, eggs) without artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives, appealing to consumers who want ice cream with fewer processed additives. Founded in 1866 by William Breyer in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Breyers is one of the oldest and most recognized ice cream brands in the United States. Breyers is owned by Unilever (LON: ULVR), which also owns Ben & Jerry's, Talenti, and other frozen dessert brands.\n\nBreyers' product line centers on classic flavors — Natural Vanilla (made with real vanilla bean specks), Chocolate, Strawberry, Mint Chocolate Chip, and Natural Vanilla Bean — positioned as the better-ingredient choice at mainstream supermarket prices. The "All Natural" claim (for products meeting that standard) and the simple ingredient list are the brand's primary differentiators. Breyers also produces gelato and CarbSmart (lower-carb options) extensions.\n\nIn 2025, Breyers faces the complex reality that Unilever's various ice cream brands (Breyers, Ben & Jerry's, Talenti, Magnum, Good Humor, Klondike) compete for the same freezer space and consumer attention. Unilever announced in 2024 a strategic decision to spin off its ice cream segment (including all these brands) as a separate company, given the capital-intensity and complexity of frozen food distribution. The spun-off ice cream company (planned for 2025 completion) will own Breyers among its portfolio. Breyers competes with Häagen-Dazs (Nestlé), Blue Bell, Tillamook, and private label for mainstream premium ice cream shelf space.

About

Plenty is a San Francisco-based indoor vertical farming company that uses AI, machine learning, and robotics to grow leafy greens and other produce in controlled indoor environments. The company has raised over $940 million from investors including SoftBank Vision Fund, which invested $200 million in 2017, and has positioned itself as the technology leader in data-driven indoor agriculture.\n\nPlenty's farms use precisely controlled light, temperature, humidity, and nutrient conditions to grow crops that are free from pesticides, use 99% less land, and consume significantly less water than conventional field agriculture. The company's AI systems continuously optimize growing conditions based on sensor data, learning to improve yields and quality across crops and growing cycles.\n\nIn 2022, Plenty announced a landmark partnership with Walmart to supply leafy greens from a new large-scale facility in Compton, California. This partnership provided both a major commercial anchor and significant additional funding from Walmart, validating Plenty's technology and business model at scale. The company also operates a dedicated strawberry R&D partnership with Driscoll's, the world's largest berry company, demonstrating the platform's potential beyond leafy greens.
