We offer a stages-of-growth approach to growing your food or beverage business from an idea to success—and every stage in between.

Sprout Stage

The product and plan are in place, and your business is sprouting. Don’t let packaging and distribution issues cause your business to wilt. We’ll help your brand emerge to market successfully.

Growth Stage

Your business is expanding and sales are blossoming. Now is the time to talk long-term finance, operations, and multiple market channels, and guess what? We’ve been there. We know exactly how to guide your business to sunshine and sales.

We love local and we love what we do.

The people behind the brands that work with Good to Grow say some very nice words about us. However, we are the lucky ones every day that we get to work with incredible, innovative, passionate processors and creatives behind the best food and beverage brands.

Through coaching, workshops, and signature events, we’ve helped hundreds of food businesses craft their dreams into sales success.

“We had such an amazing time at From The Ground Up Trade Show. Our brand-new line of Magick Lattes were so well-received (guidance from Andrea and her team were key) and we were able to make some amazing connections right out of the gate. Our new connections now have us onboarded into some of the hottest local retailers (including Whole Foods)! What a fabulous way to kickstart a new business. Thank you, Good to Grow!”

“It has been so valuable to me to have Andrea as a coach. I reached out to her when I started my business and I’ve gathered so much helpful information and advice from her since then. I highly recommend coaching with her. If you can do it at the beginning of your business, that is ideal because you will save time and money on potential mistakes.”
