Farm to Fork: Building a New Model for American Hibiscus

At Pride Road, farming isn’t just about what we grow—it’s about how we grow, who we grow with, and the system we help build around it.

🌾 A New Kind of Farm Partnership

Pride Road’s growth has been fueled by collaboration.

Through partnerships with organizations like The Conservation Fund’s Farms Fund, Pride Road has been able to access farmland in Georgia while contributing to a broader mission—protecting agricultural land and supporting new farmers. (Bon Appétit Management Co.)

These partnerships are designed to do more than produce crops. They create long-term pathways to land ownership and help strengthen local food systems.

🤝 Local Relationships That Matter

Working with institutions like Emory University, Pride Road has built strong relationships rooted in shared values—supporting local agriculture and investing in high-quality, sustainably grown food. (Bon Appétit Management Co.)

This “farm-to-fork” approach ensures that what’s grown locally is consumed locally—creating a more connected and resilient food ecosystem.

🌺 Why Hibiscus?

Hibiscus isn’t just unique—it’s underdeveloped in the U.S.

While widely consumed globally, domestic production has been limited. Pride Road saw that gap early and leaned into it, focusing on becoming a reliable American source for hibiscus products. (Bon Appétit Management Co.)

Today, hibiscus is at the center of everything the company does—from dried flowers to bottled teas—delivering a bold flavor and a range of health benefits.

🌱 Built to Scale, Rooted in Purpose

Pride Road represents a new model of agriculture:

• Family-driven
• Community-connected
• Built for long-term sustainability

With a focus on growing domestically and scaling responsibly, the company continues to expand its footprint while staying true to its roots.

🚀 The Bigger Picture

This isn’t just about one farm.

It’s about creating a system where:

• Farmers have access to land
• Communities have access to better food
• And products are grown with intention from start to finish

Pride Road is helping lead that movement—one harvest at a time.
