🌱 Why Farming Practices Matter⁠
At ZEGO, we believe how your food is grown is just as important as what’s in it. As our founder Colleen Kavanagh says:⁠
⁠
“Consumers need to be able to see the metrics for why farming practices make a difference in the health of their food.”⁠
⁠
That’s why we work with farmers who follow regenerative and purity protocol practices. Regenerative farming focuses on building healthy, living soil—rich with organic matter, microbes, and nutrients—so it can grow crops naturally higher in nutrition. Healthy soil also captures carbon, reduces erosion, and supports biodiversity, helping heal the planet while nourishing your body.⁠
⁠
And because transparency is key, every ZEGO package has a QR code so you can see our third-party lab test results for heavy metals, allergens, pesticides, and more.⁠
⁠
When you know the story of your food, you can choose options that are better for your health, the soil, and our shared future. 🌾💚

Fiber: The Unsung Hero of Everyday Wellness 🌾💪⁠
⁠
Sure, fiber helps with digestion—but that’s just the beginning. This mighty nutrient does a whole lot more for your body than you might think.⁠
⁠
✨ What makes fiber so powerful?⁠
🥣 Nourishes your gut with prebiotics to support a healthy microbiome⁠
❤️ Supports heart health by helping manage cholesterol⁠
⚡ Helps you stay satisfied longer and supports steady energy⁠
🧠 Oat B-glucan fiber is linked to improved immune, brain, and gut health—yes, really!⁠
💫 May even support healthy aging and longevity⁠
⁠
And guess what? Just one serving of our Organic Cinnamon Twist Muesli packs 5g of fiber—that’s 17% of your daily needs in one delicious bowl.⁠
⁠
💡 How to enjoy it:⁠
🔥 As a warm, cozy oatmeal⁠
😋 Soaked overnight with your favorite milk⁠
🥄 Crunchy cold cereal with fruit on top⁠
🍪 Baked into cookies, muffins, or fiber-boosted protein bites⁠
⁠
And with Purity Verified testing for over 500 toxins, you can trust that every bite is clean and safe.⁠
⁠
Your gut (and heart, and brain…) will thank you. 💚

🚜 Behind the Scenes in Montana! 🏗️⁠
Come along for a look inside our new facility in Belgrade, Montana, where ZEGO is building a future for clean, allergy-friendly, organic, and regenerative grains.⁠
⁠
🎥 In today’s video, our founder Colleen walks you through the space we’re renovating — from the grain silos that hold oats, millet, and buckwheat, to the brand-new equipment we’ll use to clean, dehull, and process these ancient grains on site.⁠
⁠
This project is part of a USDA grant-funded initiative to bring small-grain processing to a region that desperately needs it. Right now, organic millet from nearby Wyoming is being buried because there’s no local way to prepare it for market. We’re changing that — for farmers, for the food system, and for you.⁠
⁠
➡️ Once up and running, this facility will help us maintain our standards while expanding access to gluten-free grains.⁠
⁠
💬 We’d love to hear what you think! What part of the tour surprised you most? Are there any ancient grains you’re excited to see us bring to market?⁠

Trying to eat healthier?⁠
This new Washington Post article has smart, doable tips — and one of the big ones is about protein. 👇⁠
⁠
It’s not just how much protein you eat...⁠
it’s when you eat it that matters, too.⁠
⁠
💡 Remember, your body doesn’t store protein the way it stores carbs or fat. You’ve got to get enough every day—and that starts with the first meal.⁠
⁠
Most of us load up on protein at dinner and skimp on breakfast.⁠
But protein in the morning can help with:⁠
✔️ Energy⁠
✔️ Fewer cravings throughout the day⁠
✔️ More stable blood sugar⁠
⁠
And here’s something many people don’t know:⁠
👉 Protein needs go up as we age.⁠
Our bodies get less efficient at using it, which makes it even more important to eat high-quality protein throughout the day.⁠
⁠
So what can you do?⁠
⁠
🌱 Make some simple swaps and start your day with nutrient-dense, whole foods that naturally offer protein.⁠
⁠
We like using oats that are naturally higher in protein and fiber than typical varieties — they’re a great way to get more nutrition from the meals you already enjoy.⁠
⁠
🍽 Tip: Add seeds, a scoop of protein powder, nut/seed butter, or your favorite milk to boost your breakfast protein even more.⁠
⁠

✨ Made with a special variety of oats that naturally deliver more protein, iron, and fiber⁠
🌱 Packed with crunchy seeds instead of nuts — making it safe for those with nut allergies⁠
💧 Eco-friendly — seeds require 90% less water to grow than tree nuts⁠
⁠
Delicious, nutritious, allergy-friendly, and better for the planet? That’s a topping you can feel good about.⁠

Celebrating the life and legacy of Andrew Kassoy, co-founder of B Lab⁠
⁠
Andrew’s work changed the way we think about business. He firmly believed that industry leaders must be responsible, recognizing that businesses have a duty to care, serve, and contribute to building a better world.That idea sits at the heart of the B Corp movement, and it’s a belief we hold tightly at ZEGO.⁠
⁠
“Capitalism was built on the idea of carelessness… people should build wealth for themselves and that other people didn’t matter. … (Your business is) not just here to do good, you’re here to care.”⁠
— Andrew Kassoy, co-founder of B Lab⁠
⁠
As a certified B Corporation, we are proud to be part of the movement Andrew helped create—one that puts people, planet, and purpose at the core of what we do. His legacy lives on through every business working to be a force for good, and his words continue to challenge us to lead with care and courage.⁠
⁠
“In a time when so many people are careless, and so many people lack moral courage, it’s up to us to double down on care and courage. And that’s a hell of a lot easier, and a hell of a lot more powerful, if we do it together.”⁠
⁠
Andrew, thank you for showing us what’s possible. Your vision will continue to inspire us and so many others to build a better, more compassionate future.

We’re so inspired by the work the Orangevale-Fair Oaks Food Bank is doing to support their community—and especially moved by thoughtful volunteers like Gavin. 💚

Gavin, a high school student, saw a need for more allergy-friendly options at the food bank and took action, reaching out to companies like ours to help fill the gap. As someone with a peanut allergy himself, he understan firsthand how important safe, inclusive food is.

Thanks to Gavin’s advocacy, families served by the food bank now have access to gluten-free, top-allergen-free oatmeal from ZEGO and other allergy-safe staples. 🥣🌱

Thank you, Gavin, for using your voice to make a difference—and thank you to the whole Orangevale-Fair Oaks Food Bank team for all you do!

“Essentially, all life depends upon the soil ... There can be no life without soil and no soil without life; they have evolved together.”⁠

⁠
At ZEGO, we believe that truly clean food starts with healthy soil.⁠
That’s why our commitment to transparency and nourishment begins before the seed is planted.⁠
⁠
We work with farmers who grow crops in ways that regenerate the soil, protect ecosystems, and produce nutrient-rich food—without harmful chemicals or shortcuts.⁠
⁠
Because when we take care of the soil, it takes care of us. 🌱
