Food Business - Family Recipe

[CPisHere]

My mom has a food (bread product) that she always makes around the holidays. Everyone loves it, and people look forward to it every year because she gives it as gifts.

This is a family recipe and completely unique product that, to my knowledge, is not known by anyone outside of our family.

My question is, how would she go about turning this into a business venture?

My suggestion to her was to start selling it at Fresh Market Grocery Store (they have a local vendor program) and the Farmer's Market. She could continue to prepare and package the food as she has (out of her house) for this.

Long-term, I think she could sell this product to grocery stores as well as restaurants.

I don't know anything about the food distribution process, so I don't know what would come next. Any thoughts???
