For Funded & Scaling CPG Brands
Formulation, Manufacturing & Co‑Man Advisory for Clean‑Label Brands: 30 Years of Real-World Experience
We built BumbleBar, one of America's first certified organic snack bar brands. Then we founded CleanCopack, an SQF-certified facility.
Now we help values-driven, clean-label CPG companies scale with confidence. Whether you choose co-packing or self-manufacturing, we guide you past the costly mistakes.

The Challenge
Scaling CPG Brands Face a Critical Crossroads
Many founders feel stuck. They're trapped in co-packer limbo or overwhelmed by self-manufacturing. Either way, the path forward requires expert guidance.
Co-Packer Dependency
We're food safety and operations professionals who become an extension of your team. We help CPG brands navigate the co-manufacturer landscape. From finding the right partners, negotiating terms, and managing those relationships our expertise allows you to focus on growing your brand.
Self-Manufacturing Uncertainty
From 300 square feet to 30,000, we’ve built our own SQF‑certified facilities across pet, human, and supplement manufacturing. So when the economics look compelling but equipment, facilities, and compliance feel intimidating, you know exactly where to start.”
Operational Growing Pains
You made the leap to self‑manufacturing. Now you're drowning in daily fires. The systems that worked at low volume are breaking down. This is exactly where AI‑driven, operations‑first systems can turn chaos into predictable, scalable flow. We've returned hundreds of thousands of dollars to our happy clients.
Get Clarity in 60 Minutes
Work directly with Liz and Glenn. Liz pioneered the clean foods movement. Glenn built multiple production plants from scratch.
In one hour, you can pressure-test your idea, validate your path, or get unstuck on a specific challenge.
Giving Back to Organic
$90 from every Strategy Session goes directly to the Organic Trade Association. This supports organic farmers and the industry we've championed for 30+ years.
BumbleBar was one of the first certified organic snack bars. Organic is in our DNA.
