Custom R&D

Every product on our shelves started as an idea somebody was passionate about. Ours is the team that takes it from there.

Whether you've got a recipe scribbled on a card, a flavor you can taste but can't quite name, or an existing product that needs a refresh, our R&D team works with brands at every stage. We'll turn whatever you bring into something we can put in a kettle.

What’s included


Recipe development and formulation, from concept to production-ready


Iteration based on real sample feedback, not guesswork


A specification sheet locked once you approve it, so every batch after tastes like the first


Scheduled process from Cornell University, so your product meets the food safety standard it needs to before it ever ships


Label design and production


UPC barcode development, so you're shelf-ready without a separate vendor


Packaging guidance across plastic, glass, pouches, pails, and drums


A direct path into full-scale manufacturing once the recipe's dialed in

Our process

  • Tell us your vision. From your own recipe to a rough idea, our R&D team takes it from there.

  • We produce a sample, you approve it, and we don't move forward until it's exactly right.

  • Everything is handled before your first production run: Specification sheet, nutritional fact table, Cornell scheduled process, label design, and UPC barcode.

  • We manufacture at scale. We’re SQF-certified, with packaging options and volume to match your rollout.
