Copacking

Helping food manufacturers scale up to the next level

We offer reliable small-batch manufacturing to enable businesses to scale up, test recipe formulation, pilot new production techniques and realize process efficiencies. This program is designed specifically to create new and better ways for food and beverage entrepreneurs to grow and diversify business.

Our experienced team provides entrepreneurs with a next-level tier of services that allows entrepreneurs more time to focus on expanding brand awareness and driving revenues.

Especially good candidates for this program are food and beverage processors, restaurateurs, caterers and/or food trucks.

We are not able to accept gluten-free products, baked goods, confections, ice cream, meat products, or products that have not been commercially available yet. Business owners are responsible for all transportation; Hope & Main does not ship or arrange trucking.

Businesses Accepted for Co-packing:

  • New England businesses
  • Existing Hope & Main members looking to scale up
  • Approved minimum and maximum volumes
  • Processes that can use automation vs hand work
  • Finalized recipes
