Finding a Manufacturer for your Product

In conjunction with Bread & Jam we are hosting an evening workshop explaining how to find a manufacturer for your product. Bread & Jam evening workshops are a great way to focus on a particular area of your food business. Super specific and super intimate, these workshops have limited places so that our industry experts can really hone in on the issues you’re facing and give you the support you need to get your business where it deserves to be.
