Real food: Fresh cold-pressed juice. Beet hummus. Carrot miso salad dressing. We handle actual produce and turn it into delicious plant-based foods.

Clean label: We use novel and innovative processing techniques to allow you to make real food with no artificial colors or preservatives.

Better for you: Whether your brand is keto, paleo, Whole30, organic, or the hottest trend, we will help you get to market.

We are a market leader in food safety with extensive experience handling fresh produce, as well as products destined for HPP (high-pressure processing). We are proud of our top-rated Safe Quality Food (SQF) Level III certification and routinely work with products certified as gluten-free, kosher, plant-based, non-GMO, and USDA organic. Our facility is based in Carol Stream, Illinois, just west of Chicago and a short drive to many leading distributors. We can service the entire country from this central location.

Assembly, packing, and pick-pack-ship: Our team can provide assembly, case-packing, and pick-pack-ship services to help you fulfill orders, whether for traditional retail distribution or alternative channels.

Storage and inventory management: We provide on-site and off-site storage for ingredients and finished goods, whether dry or refrigerated, managing thousands of SKUs.

Distribution: Whether you have one DC or multiple, our warehouse team can pick orders to ensure that the right product gets to the right location. Various distributors pick up from our facility, making us a convenient consolidation center for emerging brands.

We work with farmers from around the country, from small, local, indoor farms that grow wheatgrass for cold-pressed juice to large farming cooperatives that can provide special varietals and quality ingredients year-round.

Terms and factoring: We can extend terms on receivables typically by setting up lockbox arrangements on purchase orders. We can also introduce companies, depending on their needs, to various financing partners to help with working capital.

Capital partners: We are in constant collaboration with accelerators, incubators, flavor houses, consultants, and investors in the food and beverage space and are happy to make introductions within our network as-needed.

Equity partners: Each year, we choose 2-3 companies as equity partners. Equity partnership often involves an investment of services, equipment, and other resources in exchange for equity.
