Sky High Farm Universe designs and sells collections of workwear and a ready-to-drink in support of the nonprofit, Sky High Farm. 

Sky High Farm Universe, founded by Dan Colen and Daphne Seybold in January 2022, is a mission-led brand built as a means of sustaining and expanding the work of Sky High Farm. While activating consumer culture in pursuit of a more just food system, we also model a corporate structure that inverts the traditional wealth hierarchy. 

Sky High Farm Universe flips the script by prioritizing those who need the funds most: 50% of the brand's profits will be donated to Sky High Farm each year; the remaining profits will be distributed next to employees, the community of the farm, and finally to investors. Additionally, we created an entirely new method for modeling the systemic change we want to see in our industry: through our Wholesale Donation Program (WDP), all of our 70+ retail partners (including DSM, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Nordstrom) are required to make an up-front donation to the farm before selling a single item, transforming all of their customers into the farm’s donors. In its first year the brand has donated over $300K to Sky High Farm through the WDP.

Our seasonal apparel collection, Sky High Farm Workwear, was created in partnership with Dover Street Market via their DSM Paris brand development department; they manufacture, sell and distribute the collection. The creative collective that fuels the brand grows and shifts with each collection, but is consistently tied together by Dan Colen, the brand’s Chief Creative Officer. Collaborators past and present have included visionary individuals and brands such as Comme des Garçons SHIRT, Balenciaga, Converse, Dickies, Denim Tears, Alastair McKimm, Mel Ottenberg, Samira Nasr, Heidi Bivens, Nadia Lee Cohen and Quil Lemons (also a Contributing Artistic Director).

In April 2023, together with FedUp Foods, we launched Sky High Farm Honey Pop, a sparkling water with gut health properties and nutritional value (probiotics and prebiotics from water kefir; 9g of fiber (33% daily need); organic; vegetarian; kosher) that debuted at family-owned, CA-based B Corp, Erewhon Market.

Honey Pop

Clothing

I spotted Sky High Farm's Honey Pop on IG several months ago and finally got my hands on a can at the Dover Street Market cafe while shopping the summer sale (iykyk). I'm not often impressed by canned beverages, I'm sorry but there are too many in my opinion, but I was so pleasantly surprised by Honey Pop. The carbonation is just perfect and the honey flavor is subtle and smooth. Dare I say it'd be really good with gin? And obviously, Sky High branding and mission is everything.
