good culture secures funding for strategic expansion

US-based cottage cheese manufacturer good culture has secured $3m in strategic funding from existing investors CAVU Venture Partners and General Mills' 301, as well as new investment from the Eisner family.

The Eisner family is led by Anders Eisner, good culture chairman of the board.

The company has been successful in the cottage cheese category and registered a positive growth in its first year.

good culture founders Merrill and Anders Eisner have identified that the cottage cheese sector had the potential to propel the real food movement to the forefront, so they revive the dairy aisle with a thicker and creamier certified organic, grass-fed, additive-free cottage cheese.

Merrill said: “I am humbled by how fast our brand has taken off.

"good culture is honoured to have such amazing backers to catapult our expansion even more and fund the opportunities we have coming down the pipeline.”

CAVU Venture Partners co-founder Clayton Christopher said: “We have thoroughly enjoyed working with the good culture team in their first full year and are thrilled to continue the partnership.”

good culture claims that the gourmet cottage cheese made with simple ingredients and organic milk from pasture-raised cows on sustainable family farms.
