It’s not often that you can hear the strategies of great food businesses of different ages, different types of foods, and different ways of producing — all who are thriving locally in the San Francisco Bay Area. A non-trivial accomplishment!
To celebrate the launch of Good Food, Great Business, the Ferry Building Farmers Market and I organized a really fun panel for aspiring Good Food businesses and fans.
The queries:
- What did companies like Allstar Organics do when the Today Show contacted them early on?
- How does Nana Joe’s Granola collaborate with local farms?
- And how did Hodo Soy get their organic tofu into Chipotle (or perhaps: How Chipotle persuade Hodo Soy to work with them)?
Be there and watch the full length video below. Or chew into the highlights video and an article distilling five key lessons learned: 5 Great Food Biz Lessons from the Pros.
Michelle is raising money on Barnraiser to purchase new equipment, a new delivery vehicle, and new packaging for Nana Joe’s. With your help, she can continue to make locally-sourced, sustainably produced, and DELICIOUS granola.
