Bear Pond Farm

Presto! Organic-Herb Pesto Grows Big With Hot Mama’s Help.

Bear Pond Farm is a certified organic farm in Glastonbury, Connecticut, specializing in refrigerated gourmet pesto sauces. Seven years ago, they were deliciously creative but small, seeking a knowledgeable food partner to help them manufacture more, maintain the highest standards, and grow their business. They found Hot Mama’s Foods across the state line in nearby Massachusetts, and it was a match made in the organic garden.

Forming a small, dedicated advisory team within Hot Mama’s, Bear Pond got a personalized, deluxe menu of professional food services to build upon. They knew how to go from small batch to large scale, find key ingredient sources, improve recipes, and could apply superior tasting skills that would please even the most demanding palate.

When it came to production and manufacturing, Bear Pond Foods saw Hot Mama’s strengths here, too. Hot Mama’s manufacturing group knew how to schedule, produce, assemble, pack and ship the gourmet pesto on time and well within budget, strictly watching cost controls that are key to any emerging business.

Within each step of the process, Hot Mama’s never failed in preserving the Bear Pond Farm brand’s unique blend of freshness and style.

Hot Mama’s offered a label review for accuracy of ingredients and nutrition facts, recommended a food analysis lab, and lab tested products on site, as well. With all this extra assistance, Hot Mama’s helped Bear Pond Farm launch their new and improved pesto into major outlets.

But that was yesterday. Today, Bear Pond Farm has pulled up a chair at Hot Mama’s table once again to discuss a new product line that will be all-natural, of course, and, most assuredly, something totally creative
