Edenesque, Inc.- Leslie Woodward, Founder & CEO

Edenesque, the visionary chef-crafted, plant-based milk company, launches its highly anticipated debut line. The BIPOC, LGBTQ, and woman-owned business, founded by CEO Leslie Woodward, is a mission-driven company who strives to show that earth-friendly nutritious plant milks—crafted with intention— can be both delicious and regenerative for individuals and their communities. Core to Edenesque’s mission is their social project, the Edenesque Food Insecurity Initiative™, which supports a multi-faceted approach to reduce food insecurity in New York State by partnering with local food insecurity organizations.

Edensque’s signature motto, Be the Love™, signifies that love is actionable, and when compassion meets purpose, transformation is possible.

Edenesque’s innovative lineup includes Unsweetened Oat Milk, Barista Blend Oat Milk, and Barista Blend Pistachio Milk. Edenesque is now available at all Whole Foods locations in New York State and Connecticut, select local retailers, all 27 Joe Coffee locations and all products are available for national shipping via edenesque.com.

All of Edenesque’s plant milks are chef-crafted to deliver maximum flavor, nutrition, and performance with minimal waste. The brand uses whole ingredients without any fillers, gums, preservatives, or additives – and the highest concentration of oats and nuts of any plant milk on the market today. Its protein and vitamin blends ensure each carton of milk delivers excellent nutrition.

Edenesque has gained remarkable traction in the marketplace, achieving an impressive ARR of $715K even before its official launch in October. Backed by significant press coverage and, most importantly, a dynamic and complementary team with over 100 years of combined experience in the food CPG industry, Edenesque is well-positioned for continued growth and success. www.edenesque.com
