Private Label Program
Private label orders start at $6,000. This covers ingredient sourcing, blending, packaging, labeling, and production of a finished product ready for your shelf. Custom blend development starts at 50 lbs. These minimums help cover the costs associated with creating a high-quality, commercially viable product.
That's exactly what the initial consultation is for. Many of our partners come to us with an audience, a brand, or a business goal—not a finished recipe. Our team will help identify opportunities and recommend products from our library of 200+ blends based on your market, customers, and category.
Our private label minimum order is $6,000, which is designed to provide enough inventory to launch a product, stock a tasting room, test a new retail offering, or sell online without requiring a massive upfront investment.
