How do we find the right co-packer for dry our food mixes company; we
are in New Mexico.

Our Site is:  www.annescountrycupboard.com

We are samll company now, and we feel that the key to our growth would be
to get help with production via a co-packing company for our dry food
mixes, and our one Peach Salsa.

We also offer two pet food supplement products as well.

Thanks for your time and input.

Clarification of Question by accman-ga on 21 Aug 2005 17:01 PDT

First Clarification: ( Thanks 'pinkfreud-ga' for asking. )
Price, service, and Location are all Equally important. { unfortunately.}

We have 23 dry food  products that my wife and I hand-pack and ship to order.
We have 4 Sales Reps with varying degree of effectiveness.
We need a co-packer to duplicate our existing recipes in batches of
about 3 to 5 hundred pounds at a time, then to pack into Poly bags of
about 12 to 22 oz. each.
We will final pack these into their individual, hand-sewn decorative
fabric bags. and then ship the order to our retail accounts.  This
ensures our levels of quality and appearance.

It would be helpful to know what your criteria are. What
characteristics do you seek in a co-packer? What's most important:
price, service, location? The more you can tell us about your needs,
the better we'll be able to help.

There's some good general advice here on choosing a co-packer:

wish that you find the right co-packer and further success.

Thanks to 'pinkfreud-ga' for the very Helpful Link.

We were in this last show with our reps, and we won 'The Best Peach Salsa' 
at this show some years ago.
