Recap & Pictures from the Planted Expo Seattle 2024

Dirty vibes. 

That’s the best way I can explain the feeling I had when a Dirty from our community would be patiently waiting to chat it up with Tamie Spears and me at our Planted Expo booth. I’d never met them, but I knew they were our people.

I’m Brittany from Team Dirty. I help with social media, design, writing, and more at this amazing company. I’ve lived in the Pacific Northwest for over 15 years, and when I heard about the Planted Expo coming to Seattle, I was all over it!

Tamie is one of our incredible recipe developers, AKA a Dirty Wizard, who flew in from Michigan to help (and see Dr. Greger, pic below 🤩). Together, we represented Clean Food Dirty Girl at the Planted Expo in Seattle on April 20th and 21st, 2024.

Our experience at the Planted Expo wasn’t so much about business as it was about community. 

We didn’t max out our servers with new memberships to our badass membership, Clean Food Dirty Girl. 
But we maxed out on love from the members we met in person for the first time.

We didn’t speak on a podium or increase our following by 9,398 Instagram subscribers in one minute. 
But we spent quality time with hundreds of people, curious about what we do. 

We didn’t rent the biggest booth with tons of merch to sell or cookbooks to sign. 
But we had the biggest smiles when our incredible members stopped by our bright, beaming booth.

We didn’t have all of our team there to make friends with everyone in the building. 
But we did have a cutout of our fantastic co-founder, Molly Patrick, on a stick, ready for selfies. (So many people wanted to take her home!) 

So, without further ado, pack your bags and come to Seattle with us to revisit the Planted Expo.

From the bottom of our 🧡🧡 hearts, thank you for supporting what we do. 

Tamie, thanks for coming all the way from Michigan. I would have lost my voice without you! And I’m so glad you brought your mom. What a beautiful experience to remember. 

Molly, thanks for supporting every facet of this event. 

Thank you to all the businesses who contributed to our prize packs

Rancho Gordo – I am obsessed with these heirloom beans! They require minimal soaking time and are so creamy. Learn more about what makes Rancho Gordo so badass, and try this incredible soup using their garbanzo beans.

Burlap & Barrel – These single-origin spices have excellent flavor. I really love their Black Garlic (good on everything) and Nyanza Vanilla Powder (levels up overnight oats and plant based banana bread).

Souper Cubes – I’m not the most organized, so when I found Souper Cubes sturdy freezer trays, I bought two sets! They are so handy for freezing batching leftovers from our plant-based meal plans, pureed fruit from our PNW summer bounty, and all the sauces!

PCC Community Markets – This local co-op and organic grocery store chain started as a food-buying club in Seattle in 1953 and is a wonderful place to shop.

Clean Food Dirty Girl – Our membership gives you access to over 4,600 recipes and 300 meal plans to keep you eating like a plant based boss all year!

Clean Food Dirty Girl – We’ll have stickers, shopping bags, and more so you can represent your Dirty, delicious life.

A special note from Tamie:
The Planted Expo was so amazing! Not only did I get to fly across the country and experience the event with my mom, I got to meet Dr. Michael Greger and a whole lot of Dirties and fun planty people. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat or to listen to us talk about our yummy recipes and meal plans. It was a blast! Can’t wait for the next Expo!
