Youโ€™d be forgiven for immediately thinking of a new vegan buttermilk dressing when you hear the words โ€˜Impossible Ranchโ€™. But thatโ€™s not what plant-based pioneer Impossible Foods is doing in South Carolina, where a now-former cattle farm will sport crops like soybeans, sunflowers and coconut trees.

These will support the manufacturing of Impossible Foodsโ€™ vegan beef, chicken and pork products, transforming the output of the farm from animal-derived meat to plant-based instead. In addition, the company is rescuing the cows on the property, and documenting the long-term transition project on its social media to allow consumers to follow along.

This followedย the launch of the Impossible Beef Liteย last year, which carriesย the American Heart Associationโ€™s Heart-Check certification. It is one of the only meat analogues to be certified as heart-healthy, withย a few products from Beyond Meatย also appearing on that list.

โ€œWith every move we make, we want to set the tone that weโ€™re an inclusive brand. We donโ€™t want people to feel judged for loving meat, and we need to show them they donโ€™t have to change their lifestyle in order to help the planet or their health,โ€ the spokesperson said.
