Hello SFA Community! Is anyone here aware of a directory of seed funding investors or venture capital funds that specialize in CPG and/or Food&Bev companies? TIA, Chris

What type of quantities are you looking for?

Not sure exactly what you are looking for from a connoisseur, but you might start with the folks at Embrew Tea (https://www.instagram.com/embrewtea/).

Hello SFA Community! As the title says, I'm looking for an ecommerce order fulfillment partner for my line of gourmet flavored butters (perishable, refrigerated). My website is based on the Shopify platform, and I am in the process of creating an Amazon storefront and product listings. A fulfillment partner that can fulfill orders from both platforms is preferred. Any suggestions (both pro and con) are welcome. TIA, Chris

Wow... Thanks, Victoria! That's a lot of great information!

Soon, I will producing compound (i.e., flavored) butters myself from within a commercial kitchen. Then I will be selling my jarred products (six SKUs) via retail grocers (specialty and local markets) as well as online from my own website/webstore. I'm registered with the FDA and will be inspected by my state's Dept. of Agriculture. Will I need to generate a Certificate of Analysis for each of my products? If so, what's the best way for a small producer to do so? TIA! Chris

Great story! Makes me wonder if she steps on toes just to follow-up the way she did. LOL. Either way, great customer service!

Thanks Julie... Found it!

Hello... I am in search of (ISO) a U.S.-based Flavored Butter Co-Packer/Manufacturer. I've spoken with one so far (Epicurean). Is anyone aware of others? TIA!
