About Us.
Our Mission
Aficionado Foods (AF) empowers and supports the growth of small and medium-sized food & beverage entrepreneurs as they build and scale nutritious, socially responsible brands.
We focus on providing opportunities to small and medium sized brands that have historically not had access to contract manufacturers and the resources that our ecosystem provides due to their size. We are here to support all brands that need a co-packer with our current and future capabilities.
Our Vision
Our vision is to be the most important and successful food manufacturing and operations company for small and medium sized brands.
- Successful in making access to food and food entrepreneurship more accessible.
- Successful in introducing innovations in food to new customers, while contributing to building a more resilient food system.
- Successful in reducing local food insecurity and malnutrition in urban and rural areas.
- Important because we will be the basic resource for much of what is required for new entrants in the food and beverage landscape to navigate the food industry successfully.
