We built our business from the ground up, with our only capital being a credit card. We started producing products out of our home and selling them to parents who singed up for a once a week delivery at my son's school. We then landed a very inexpensive part time slot at a certified kitchen. From here we joined a raw foods collective that allowed us to get into 7 farmers markets to sell our products. Next, a small, local distributor discovered our products and took us under his wing. We have secured our first businesses loan of 10,000 that will allow us to move into a larger production facility and we hope to sign on with a major distributor that will bring us into multi-regions. We are now looking for angel investors who want to help fund us so our niche products can really take flight!
