Please note that our blending capabilities have been suspended until further notice to find a suitable facility during our relocation. We will provide updates as this status changes.
Manufacturing Quotation Policy Update:
As of September 1, 2020, all Manufacturing Costings or Quotations will require a $500 retainer.
This retainer will allow our team to continue to provide the most accurate and up-to-date pricing for your production needs. All production costings are based on your product order quantities, ingredient specifications, and packaging requirements which take time and resources to investigate to make your production run smoothly and accurately.

Did you know that Fresh Ideas & Solutions also offers Manufacturing and Production services?
When we first started this company, we were solely food science consultants. But as our clients grew from product development into production, many were having trouble meeting the minimum order requirements of the local manufacturing companies. It is very frustrating to watch these amazing products and customers be stifled by massive order quantities, so Margaret decided to offer some limited dry blending for certain clients. Of course, this service has grown over the past 17 years and, after acquiring larger equipment, we are able to offer an expanded list of manufacturing and production services.
For those clients requiring processing and packaging involving liquids and those dry blends that we cannot manufacture, we partner with other food processors suitable to your size and capabilities, guiding and matching you and your products to the best fit manufacturers.
We offer, to name a few:
Predominantly geared to start-up and short run manufacturing, products are prepared in a stainless steel ribbon blender or paddle mixers, in batch sizes ranging from 25-500kg. As an extended service, we also offer packaging services in a variety of forms and sizes. The current Manufacturing Minimum Order Quantity is $1200.
Our production facility is Organic Certified through PACS.
