Organic Specialty Food And Flavored Gourmet Butter Business For Sale

Business description

The perfect business for the first-time or small entrepreneur, or for a larger company looking to diversify. This unique business started as a home-based business and can be operated from home, then relocated to a commercial facility or co-packer, if desired.

We are proud to be the first to bring Certified Organic Flavored Butter to the retail and commercial trades for both home and professional use.

The wholesale market includes specialty, gourmet, and organic markets, with the food service market including restaurants, delicatessens, catering companies, hospitality chains, wineries, and bakeries with Whole Foods and Trader Joe's showing great interest in carrying the line.

Consumer demand for high-quality organic foods isn’t limited to just produce and meats. The demand is growing rapidly for all food products, including gourmet ingredients.

Each of our unique taste combinations is hand-crafted by compounding organic, sweet-cream butter with our proprietary blend of herbs and spices, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and berries. Every product contains only all natural and organic ingredients – devoid of preservatives, artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners -- produced in harmony with nature by small, organic dairies, farmers, and suppliers.

Online sales are achieved with a custom developed and branded eCommerce Web site with page one search engine positioning. Qualified Wholesale and Food Service members can also purchase the company’s products online in bulk quantities and case packs at substantially discounted rates not available to retail consumers.

The product line is also offered through several online gourmet and organic food brokers and networks.

A user-friendly Web site Content Management System provides for easy maintenance and updates, with an online storefront that offers the ability for continual growth with an unlimited number of products.

A dynamic electronic newsletter broadcast system and subscriber database is built in offering the ability to easily build, schedule, and broadcast email newsletters, promotions, and campaigns directly from the Web site without having to pay the high cost of a commercial broadcast service provider.

A comprehensive and interactive recipe center offers visitors and consumers the ability to build their own recipe box, submit recipes, and suggest new product flavors.

A custom-branded Twitter account has been built with a substantial and growing base of followers.
