This plan was first touched on here👇🏻
💪🏻 How We Will Grow
This post will illustrates numbers associated with the possible avenues of expansion that we have identified

Here's a little graphic to help visualize the important steps
🥘 Cooking
When will the cooking and prep be done?
- meats and mixes done each week.
- Taquitos, sauces, rubs done in bulk, maybe monthly.
How long will it take?
- Depends on the amount of items. I think we should try to narrow down to 3 taquito flavors, 2 mixes, 2 meats, 2 sauces, 3 rubs
📦 Packaging
How and when will everything be packaged?
- Anything thats vacuum sealed and frozen can be replenished
- Any hot sauces should immediately be put into a mason jar (could do this and sell salsa verde)
- Meats: after they're cooked
- Taco Kits: Thursday and Friday before the market on Saturday or Sunday
How will the branding be done?
- Stickers on each packaged
- Will include item contents, pack date, best by date
How long will it take?
- 3-4 hours
💽 Storage
Where will the finished food and packaging be stored.
- Everything should fit in rolling fridge or home chest freezer
- might need to get another fridge at home that is only for farmers market goods
How will items be transported?
- placed into coolers and moved
- some sort of dividers for the coolers would be helpful
