One of the bigger challenges often faced by artisan food manufacturers is gaining entry into the retail stores and other outlets where they would like to see their unique, high quality products sold.  Many retailers are reluctant to take on new artisan food manufacturers for a variety of reasons.

With Artisan Exchange's optional wholesale distribution service, many of the obstacles are overcome due to being part of an established, well known brand that provides what wholesale buyers are looking for - ease of ordering, reliable, accurate, on time deliveries, single invoicing and payment for multiple manufacturers' products, all backed by highly personalized service from a seasoned team of food professionals.  Joining the Artisan Exchange wholesale distribution service enables artisan manufacturers to focus on the other priorities needed to grow their business - such as marketing, sampling and demos to show how their products are used, improving manufacturing practices to gain efficiencies, and lower their costs.

Artisan Exchange also represents and provides distribution services for other food manufacturers whose people, practices, and products meet the mission and values of the Artisan Exchange way of doing business.  If you are such a producer and would like to join the Artisan Exchange community, please contact us by clicking the tab on the right side of this page.
