Good Culture Secures Majority Investment From L Catterton

Clean-label cultured dairy company plans to accelerate its movement along its growth curve with the new support of its investors.
Jan. 9, 2026

Austin, Texas-based Good Culture has announced that investment firm L Catterton has agreed to make a majority investment in the company, following years of rapid growth for the clean-label cultured dairy company. In addition, current investor Manna Tree, which has been a partner of the brand since 2022, will reinvest in Good Culture alongside L Catterton.

Good Culture’s sales have increased nearly four times over the past three years, the company noted, and the company also helped reignite the cottage cheese category, which grew nearly 60% in that same amount of time.

The new investments will position the brand for accelerated national expansion. L Catterton expects to support Good Culture through its capacity and distribution expansion as well as its added innovation efforts moving forward.

Closing, which is subject to regulatory approval, is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2026.
