[Castanea Partners] Any insight or inside information?

I'm interested in branded consumer products private equity, and was wondering if anyone has heard of or worked with Castanea Partners. From the site, it looks like they are investing out of a $600m fourth fund alongside a $135m coinvestment vehicle, and have investments in small to middle market food & beverage, beauty, and recreational brands.

Would love any insight the community has with regards to past fund performance, culture, reputation and pay. Thanks!
