Its common shares are now traded under the symbol SOWG, replacing the former ANFC.<\/p>\n<p>As Sow Good, the company now bills itself as an &#8220;emerging consumer products platform focused on manufacturing and marketing freeze-dried snacks, smoothies, and soups.&#8221; The intent is to fight waste, malnutrition, and food insecurity, all through a snack that stays, tastes, and does good. Sow Good does so by combining ethical sourcing with freeze drying.<\/p>\n<p>Expected in Q1 of this year is production of a line of freeze-dried items\u2014made in its state-of-the-art facility in Irving\u2014and the launch of a direct-to-consumer website. On its current site, Sow Good makes one vague proclamation: &#8220;Good things are coming.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At Sow Good, we&#8217;re on a mission to revolutionize food. To fight food waste and food insecurity with products that stay good, are good, taste good and do good,&#8221; CEO Claudia Goldfarb said in a statement. &#8220;By marrying ethical sourcing with the magic of freeze-drying, we&#8217;re able to support the health and wellness of communities, people and the planet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, Sow Good is continuing to move toward its mission to &#8220;revolutionize food.&#8221; On Feb. 5, the company announced it had raised more than $2.5 million in capital from the sale of 631,250 newly-issued shares. Investors included existing management and directors, along with unaffiliated accredited investors.<\/p>\n<p>That brings Sow Good&#8217;s total cash and liquid investments to $4.3 million. And, according to Goldfarb, the company is now well-positioned for its upcoming launches.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Investor interest in Sow Good exceeded our expectations,&#8221; CFO Brad Burke said in a statement. &#8220;Sow Good&#8217;s ample liquidity will provide financial flexibility and promote robust growth during 2021.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Coinciding with the funding announcement was the news that Chris Ludeman, a commercial real estate veteran, is joining Sow Good&#8217;s Board of Directors.<\/p>\n<p>As the global president of Capital Markets for CBRE, Ludeman is a renowned expert in the industry. He has more than 30 years of experience in various leadership roles in CRE, including in brokerage, transaction management, and global corporate services.<\/p>\n<p>Ludeman will also serve as Sow Good&#8217;s chairperson of the Audit Committee.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are delighted to welcome Chris Ludeman to Sow Good&#8217;s board,&#8221; Executive Chairman Ira Goldfarb said in a statement. &#8220;Chris&#8217;s extensive experience with capital markets and institutional investors will strengthen Sow Good&#8217;s future capital raising efforts, which will support our planned growth and create value for our shareholders.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive\"
