EP 193 How to Launch a Food Business
May 03, 2022•1 hr 9 min
Episode description
Do you have a favorite recipe you’d like to turn into a food business, but don’t know where to start?
Our guest, Alison Elliott, is the founder and CEO of The Farmer Foodie, and she’s sharing her fresh ingredients for launching a food business.
Originally a food blog featuring over 150 healthy, sustainable, plant-forward recipes, Alison created the brand’s initial product called Everything Cheeze, a delicious Cashew Parmesan Alternative.
Everything Cheeze is inherently sustainable with its plant-based organic ingredients and long shelf-life. It is a multi-use product that can be hydrated in 30 seconds and blended into a queso, ricotta, or mac & cheeze sauce.
