Hey guys!
I recently started a hot sauce company and have been doing pretty well over the past few months. Farmers markets are my main place to sell other than close family and friends. But whenever I work a market I sell out completely. So I know I'm on the right track. You put my sauce and I in front of a crowd, I can sell the s**t out of it However, I am at a crossroads. The weeks before markets I am slaving away after my regular 9-5. Cooking, bottling, labeling, sealing, etc. You know the drill. I can keep this up or I can relieve some of the stress by utilizing the proper equipment at a facility or by hiring a co-packer.
My question is where to find a co-packer or a kitchen that would have what I'm looking for?
I don't want to use a company like Endorphin Farms (yet) because it's just SO much sauce. I would need to order pallets of sauce and it would cost a boat load of money. I don't have that much capital nor the storage space, at the moment. I need a place where I can dedicate a weekend to pumping out sauce on high quality equipment OR a co-packer that can do lower tier orders to fulfill my needs.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Much love!
