Walmart Marketplace is a leading e-commerce platform that allows third-party sellers to offer their products alongside Walmart's own inventory, giving businesses access to millions of customers nationwide. Known for its robust infrastructure and trusted reputation, Walmart Marketplace provides sellers with valuable tools to manage inventory, pricing, and orders seamlessly. The platform also offers competitive fees and the option to use Walmart Fulfillment Services, which manages logistics such as shipping and returns. This enables sellers to scale their businesses efficiently while maintaining high standards of customer service and satisfaction.

“The launch of our Vitamin Whey® and Vitamin Way® brands on Walmart Marketplace marks a significant milestone for Edible Garden,” said Jim Kras, CEO of Edible Garden. “This partnership enables us to bring our innovative protein products—formulated with essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids for comprehensive health support—to a wider audience. Through Walmart’s trusted platform, we are able to provide customers across the nation with convenient access to our premium, flavorful protein powders that support muscle recovery and overall well-being, all at an affordable price. We see this as an exciting opportunity for Edible Garden to extend our ‘Flavor Maker’ legacy and are confident that Walmart Marketplace’s vast reach will help us further accelerate the brand’s growth among consumers, helping us achieve our goal of providing the highest-quality most flavorful alternate proteins on the market.”

“Joining Walmart Marketplace not only expands access to our Vitamin Whey product line but also creates opportunities for Edible Garden to offer more products on the platform. This includes the potential to introduce additional shelf-stable items, such as our Pulp line of sustainable, gourmet sauces and chili-based products. We believe that the growth opportunity for the Company as a result of our products being made available through the Walmart Marketplace is immense, and we are confident that our innovative products will continue to meet the evolving tastes of an expanding universe of consumers.”
