How it works
We sign a mutual NDA so we can talk freely about your recipe, packaging, and target costs. You share your product specifications — ingredients, process, finished-product expectations.
We produce a small test batch at our hourly rate ($40/hour per person on the line). The pilot lets us refine the process for commercial scale and gives us real data to quote per-piece pricing.
Once we know how the product runs, we agree on per-piece pricing for ongoing production. Pricing is transparent — labor, yield assumptions, and any quality-control overhead are all visible.
You ship ingredients and packaging. We schedule production, manufacture to spec, and stage the finished product for pickup or your carrier of choice. Distribution and Amazon FBA fulfillment are available as add-ons.

FAQ
Gluten-free and vegetarian products: baked goods, frozen meals, kale chips and vegetable crackers, sauces, dressings, pasteurized shelf-stable goods. If you're not sure whether your product fits, ask.
Pilot production runs at $40/hour per person on the line. After enough runs to estimate yields and labor, we agree on per-piece pricing for ongoing production. You provide all ingredients and packaging.
You do — entirely. We sign a mutual NDA before reviewing your specifications. Your recipes, formulations, packaging, trademarks, and customer relationships remain yours. We don't reverse-engineer your product or make a competing one.
Typically two to four weeks from signed NDA to a pilot production run, depending on the complexity of your product and how much recipe scaling is needed.
Yes. We offer full USDA Organic certification support for co-packing partners — paperwork, documentation, agency coordination, and audit preparation. More on the home page.
We can package and stage product for pickup, or hand it to your carrier of choice. We also offer distribution and Amazon FBA fulfillment services if you want a single partner end-to-end.
Maybe — it depends on what your time is worth and how technical your product is. If you want to do the making yourself, see our shared kitchen service.
