Yogurt on a mission

We’re no greenhorns when it comes to green business. We were on a mission to make the planet healthier even before we were making yogurt. Today, we make it our mission to work towards all sorts of healthy.

Our mission: We’re committed to healthy food, healthy people, a healthy planet and healthy business.

• Healthy food. We will craft and offer the most delicious and nourishing organic yogurts and dairy products.
• Healthy people. We will enhance the health and well-being of our consumers and colleagues.
• Healthy planet. We will help protect and restore the planet and promote the viability of family farms.
• Healthy business. We will prove that healthy profits and a healthy planet are not in conflict and that, in fact, dedication to health and sustainability enhances shareholder value. We believe that business must lead the way to a more sustainable future.

Tom Colicchio, chef and owner of the Craft family of restaurants and head judge of Bravo’s Top Chef, founded ’wichcraft with partners Sisha Ortuzar and Jeffrey Zurofsky in 2003. The three had a long history of working together in fine dining restaurants such as Manhattan’s top-rated Gramercy Tavern and Craft, but this collaboration was decidedly more casual. They created ’wichcraft, a sandwich service like no other.

BAO Food and Drink was started with the goal of producing snacks, condiments and beverages that are good for people. The first group of products that they developed is fermented. Kombucha is a fermented tea, very low in sugar, full of probiotic bacteria and very flavorful. Their Raw Slaws are similar to sauerkraut or kimchi. They are also full of lactobacillus, which has been shown to aid in digestion. To make the Raw Slaws, they carefully shred local organic vegetables and use the 7000 year old method of fermentation to allow nature to do what it does best.

BAO also produces Ketchup and Hot Sauce.  All of their products are made of raw ingredients. Their products are live, fermented, probiotic, vegan, gluten-free, unpasteurized, organic, locally made, good for digestion, and contain no added sugar. 

Their newest products are Chia puddings which provide a great feeling of satiation.
