Distribution & Partnerships
Fresh Start sells through existing channels—not walk-in retail. Our products reach customers through contracted partnerships with local businesses and institutions.
No Storefront. No Walk-Ins. Just Orders.
By distributing through established partners, Fresh Start avoids the capital requirements, staffing demands, and foot-traffic risk of retail. We focus on production excellence and workforce training while our partners handle customer-facing sales.

From Pilot to Future Caf\u00e9
Production & Training Pilot
Establish commercial kitchen operations, train initial cohort, build distribution partnerships. Prove the model works.
Expanded Distribution
Grow buyer network, increase production capacity, expand training program. Build sustainable revenue base.
Community Café (Future)
Only after proving sustainability will we consider a retail location. A café is a long-term vision, not a current ask.
Retail expansion is not part of current funding requests. Phase 1 focuses entirely on workforce outcomes.
