Food Entrepreneurs who want Genuine Local to manufacture their products
Not enough hours in the day? Genuine Local recognizes that your time may be better spent marketing and selling your unique product rather than making each batch. That’s why Genuine Local offers custom manufacturing, featuring small batch production combined with all the same business development services offered to our Local Farmer and Local Maker customers.

You can also take advantage of our small business development services and customized labeling to put a spotlight on your local products.

Local Makers who want to make more, faster, for less money
State-licensed food businesses looking to increase productivity and efficiency will have access to the equipment and resources they need at Genuine Local.
