Genuine Local’s on a Mission
Genuine Local is the brainchild of two foodpreneurs who believed that making clean food with honest roots should be easier. Genuine Local was created to address the lack of commercial production facilities available to local makers and farmers, and to reduce the scarcity of small batch contract manufacturers in New Hampshire.
Genuine Local provides a wide range of business development services on an a la carte basis, so that our customers get customized services when they need them.
Genuine Local can assist with label design, layout and compliance, business planning and pricing development, recipe scaling and product approvals, in addition to providing assistance in obtaining all necessary licenses and approvals. Genuine Local also aggregates purchasing to leverage the best price for each customer.
Genuine Local’s mission is to be a bridge for small scale producers who are striving to span the gap to make more and grow!
