The buzz in the specialty food industry these days is “differentiate or get out.” Food For Thought, nestled on an organic farm in northwest Michigan, is uniquely positioned to help retailers differentiate by building store brand and customer loyalty through our premium quality private label food processing. Serving both the conventional and organic markets since 1996, Food For Thought meets the quality demands of leaders in the industry such as Eden Foods, Papa Joe’s Markets, Cherry Republic, Grand Traverse Pie Company and more. You can bring us your recipes, have us develop them for you, or choose from any of the over 100 different recipes we have available, including fruit preserves, toppings, barbeque sauces, salad dressings, salsa, mustards and more. Whatever you choose, Food For Thought is your best choice, and here’s why:

Quality

For three years running, Bon Appetite Magazine and the James Beard Foundation have honored our owner, Timothy Young, as one of the up and coming chefs of the Midwest along with the invitation to sample his products at the annual Wine and Spirits Focus held in Chicago each year. In a recent cherry preserve taste competition conducted by the Detroit News, Food For Thought’s private label products took first place. Food For Thought brings purity, taste and integrity to all it does.

Service, Service, Service

We offer complete product development services, from recipe creation to shelf life testing. All ingredients and products are coded and tracked for your safety. Bring us an idea or a recipe. Either way, when your product hits your shelves you can be assured that it will meet the highest standards of taste, safety, quality, and integrity. Food For Thought offers a large variety of jars in stock or you can choose your own and we’ll fill it.

Corporate Philosophy

Food for Thought prides itself on setting an example of corporate responsibility. A few of the many examples include our donation of one percent of our gross earnings to non-profit organizations that work to protect and improve the human and natural environment. We pay our employees to volunteer in our community and have a staff garden to supply our help with fresh organic fruits and vegetables during the growing season. Please visit our website for more information about our philosophy.
