2024 was our biggest show yet, we can’t wait to see what 2025 has in store!

If you’re asking: how do I grow from here? This is it. With us, you’re Good to Grow.

We offer a stages-of-growth approach to working with you and growing your food or beverage business. 

New

New companies need a solid foundation and plan to move forward. Good to Grow helps create a roadmap to grow your business and best prepare you for what lies ahead.

Emerging

The product and plan are in place and business is growing, but packaging and distribution issues can cause roadblocks. Good to Grow helps you emerge to market successfully.

Growth

Business is expanding and sales are taking off. Now is the time to talk long-term finance, operations, and a multiple market channel strategy. Good to Grow has been there and knows exactly how to guide your business.

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.

“What a great conference today by Good to Grow and an inspiring end to the Sprout Series cohort! Good to Grow is a small and mighty team who know how to make events like the conference amazing. There was an incredibly generous group of speakers who inspired and gave great advice.”

“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.”
