I have had no difficulty in locating a number of co-packers who will
gladly work in the quantity lots you require, however, the sticking
point is in your request for what amounts to drop-shipping. How
closely wedded are you to this portion of the process? There are
certainly third-party independent packagers who can arrange for pickup
and individual reshipments, along with complete tracking, so this
might not be as much of an obstacle, if you are willing to consider a
process involving separate contractors.

Secondly, in speaking with several personal contacts who are specialty
food producers (specifically, producers of jams and jellies), their
most fervent recommendations involved finding co-packers within
geographic proximity, in order for you to be able to personally
supervise batch formulation, and let you give specific approval before
pour. I'll be happy to list several packers in each of various
regions, but it would probably be most useful to you if I were able to
concentrate on a specific region, state, or locale.

Dear Larre-ga You have been extremely helpful. Co-packers in
Massachusetts and New England or states close to Massachusetts would
be fine providing they will manufacture one thousand cases or less of
an item.This is most important. Also separate list of Firms in
Massachusetts or nearby states who would store and ship products to
our customerswould be fine Again providing they would accept
quantities of one thousand cases of an item or less.Many thanks for
your interest and help.
