The local food and beverage scene is thriving thanks to the Business Entrepreneurship Centre Northumberland Food and Beverage Consumer Packaged Goods Development Group.
“The BECN’s Food and Beverage CPG Development Group has helped me immensely with growing my business,” states Lucas Herron of Arrowmatic Food. “When I first joined the group, I was looking for a local facility to help manufacture my products. I was able to find this support through a partnership with another local business owner in the group. If it weren’t for this program, I never would’ve made this valuable connection, and would’ve been travelling over an hour and a half each month to produce our blends. I have gained a lot of value from this group, and would definitely recommend it to local food and beverage CPG businesses.”
Offering free coaching, grants, and networking opportunities, businesses like Arrowmatic Food, MillStone Bread and Rice Lake Hard Cider are experiencing unprecedented growth.
