Joining Foodboro gave Jamie & I, a boost of confidence we needed to start our online food business from almost scratch. Our number one love of this group was the access to the S4S group, which has moved our company to the forefront of the internet with Shopify. We are a proud member and hope to be able to help other brands in the future.

Foodboro is a game changer. From the community, to keeping up with the industry, as well as relevant topics on their website, for any budding entrepreneur or startup -- Foodboro to me is integral for anyone wanting to learn or be a part of the CPG industry and keep up on trends. They do an amazing job of championing their members and provide a ton of insight and resources to navigate our industry.”

I have really enjoyed working with Foodboro. The community is very supportive. Foodboro has found instances when we were featured in an Instagram post or story without our knowledge of being featured. They shared the post or story so that we would know. So appreciated!
