If you can track a “first step” as the transition point from a hobby to a business, FoodLab Detroit was Marcia’s Munchies “stepping stone.” Attending a seminar with a food inspector from MDARD, Devita Davison and Jess Daniels led a discussion about growing out of a cottage food business into making products out of a licensed kitchen. It was 2013 and really our portal into Detroit’s food business community.
Earlier this month, the account manager from a new distribution partner wrote us to say she attended a FoodLab event and the speaker, the arresting Devita Davison, gave us a shout out and featured on one of the slides. It made us look good 🙂
