| Quick Pickle Kit + Andrea Wasko |
This #smallbusiness success story is kind of a big dill because it’s National Pickle Day π
Andrea Wasko and
Meaghan Gilbert started their woman-owned small business
Connoisseur Creations in 1996. The company’s flagship product, the
@quickpicklekit, uses 100 year old family recipes that allow customers to make
#pickles in just a few days.
Connoisseur Creations used assistance from SBA resource partner, Mission Community Services Corporation, which is a Women’s Business Center in San Luis Obispo to help them make the decision to relocate their company from the Bay Area to California’s Central Coast. The Women’s Business Center also helped connect Andrea and Meaghan to commercial kitchens, co-packers, and warehouses to support production of their products.
Connoisseur Creations has strong company values with a focus on health and giving back to the community. The business provides jobs for developmentally disabled adults, and donates 10% of their gross
website sales to nonprofit agencies. By collaborating with farmers and Community Supported Agriculture organizations,
Connoisseur Creations is also helping reduce food waste by showing consumers how pickling preserves excess produce, and creates delicious snacks from blemished food. More Info:
