Small batch co-packers
- Thread starter Capt Ron
- Start date
Lancaster Fine Foods have relatively small batch minimums but they charge you for EVERYTHING else that most co-packers consider a price of doing business. I sent them some of my stuff for price quotes and after all the additional and hidden charges, I told them to go pound sand before we really even got started.
Be careful my friend, Lancaster is home to the Amish Mafia. lolRedtailForester said:
Seriously though, I have looked into several places and the untold things still get on the bottom line. It gets annoying, but they know if they tell the bottom line from the door less people will stay and listen to how they stroke every bottle with care and gently handle them with cotton gloves while packing them up for you in fine Arabian cardboard boxes that just look like normal boxes by chance.
Honestly Capt, it would be just as easy for you to get your registration with the Department of Agriculture and make it yourself. I have been looking for a co-packer for my sauces but I can't find one that is able to duplicate the quality and consistency of my sauces. Until then, I get to sweat over the stove!!!
