Work with me

Consulting support for food businesses, producers, and facility operators.

Whether you’re launching a product, scaling your operations, preparing for inspection, or just trying to make sense of the chaos — I help food entrepreneurs get systems in place so they can move forward with clarity.

All services can be customized to your project, but here’s what I currently offer:

Practical support for food entrepreneurs, producers, and operators.

Whether you’re launching something new, trying to bring order to an existing operation, or gearing up for regulatory scrutiny — I offer consulting support grounded in firsthand experience and designed to actually make your work easier.

All services can be tailored to your goals, team, and timeline.

I offer three main ways to work together — whether you need one-time clarity, systems that scale, or a partner to help carry the load as you grow. Each offering is grounded in practical, real-world food operations, with room to tailor based on your needs and stage.

Stay legal. Stay sane. Build systems that serve you.

Ongoing Support & Retainers

For food businesses that need consistent operational help — without hiring full-time.

If your business is growing and you’re stretched thin, I offer a limited number of monthly retainers where I act as a fractional operations partner. From batch flow and compliance to hiring and team systems, I’m here to help you keep the wheels turning — and build something sustainable.

This is ideal for:

  • Food businesses scaling production or launching new facilities

  • Operators who need recurring support but not a full-time hire

  • Entrepreneurs who need accountability, systems, and a sounding board

  • Shared kitchen managers or co-manufacturers navigating growth

Light - $375/month

1 call/month + light check-ins via email

Core - $750/month

2 calls/month + working docs + async support

Full - $1,200/month

Weekly calls + active document collaboration + on-call support

Is this right for you?

I only take on a few retainer clients at a time to make sure I can really show up. If you think this type of support might be what you need, let’s talk and build a scope that works.
