CHICAGO, IL and VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 11, 2022 / The Planting Hope Company Inc. (TSXV:MYLK)(OTCQB:MYLKF)(FRA:J94) ('Planting Hope' or the 'Company'), a plant-based food and beverage company focused on producing the world's most nutritious and planet-friendly products, announces its participation in the Canaccord Genuity 42nd Annual Growth Conference in Boston, MA, August 10-11 2022. The Company has secured an extensive meeting schedule with investors interested in growth companies focused on innovative consumer products and environmental sustainability. The Planting Hope team is also offering sesamemilk lattes - made with their award-winning Hope and Sesame® Barista Blend Sesamemilk - to conference attendees at Sorelle Café, next door to the Intercontinental Boston Hotel.
'We're excited about the momentum sesamemilk is building right now,' said Julia Stamberger, CEO and Co-founder of Planting Hope. 'Our goal at the Canaccord Genuity Growth Conference is to showcase sesamemilk as a more nutritious, delicious and planet-friendly plant milk, poised to take on almond milk as the most popular milk alternative.'
Sesamemilk is quickly being recognized as the next big trend to hit independent cafés, providing a complete protein dairy milk alternative that uses 95% less water than almond milk. This innovative plant milk is optimized for great performance in frothing, steaming, and foaming for hot and cold drinks in cafés and coffee shops, earning the Hope and Sesame® Barista Blend Sesamemilk a finalist spot in the brand new Hospitality category in the international GAMA Consumer Awards. This latest nomination recognizing Hope and Sesame® adds to its growing list of awards, including 'Best New Product' at CoffeeFest Chicago 2022 and 'Best Plant-Based Milk' at the Plant Based World Expo.
