Salsa Business is Growing! 40 Gallons per week!


I started up a year ago with the goal to do my local farmers market. Now I am in 10 store locations and I can't keep the salsa stocked on the shelves. 250lbs of tomatoes each week. It is getting WILD. I just wanted to share with other people that love making salsa. Happy Wednesday!

    Once you’re in the east ave and mangrove Safeways then you’ve really made it. Congrats on the growing business!

    Any hints on recipes? I’m uk based so not about to start competing but still learning about salsa making. 

    Also anyone else with any bangers/top tips let me know. Currently I just chuck it all in a skillet then blitz.

    Made in Chico? Where is it being sold? I’m a couple hours away and would be stoked to try it next time I come through town.

    I’m like 2.5 hours south west from Chico!! This looks like some tasty stuff, and of course CONGRATS!!

    Have you found it difficult to keep product consistency with the larger production?

    What are you paying for the 25Lbs cases of Roma tomatoes? Since getting a large blender I upped my home output from 4 or 5 jars at a time to 12 at a time (when I find the tomatoes on sale). I worked out the per jar price and even at on sale retail prices for ingredients it is baffling how much people are willing to pay for such a simple and inexpensive to produce product.

    I’m in el dorado county, where’s the nearest place i can pick some up?

    Random Question for people following this thread…. If I were sampling at any random event and 10 people tried my salsa… 1 person out of that 10 buys it on the spot because the sample was good. Is that good for sampling? 10%? I have no context on what is successful for a sample to buy immediately ratio…

    Mine is higher than 1/10, but I want to know what that standard is and see my numbers are actually something to bring up in my next retail meeting.

    Thanks for any input.

    Sweet! And next to Casa Sanchez too, life goals. What kind of salsa do you make? Do you do different varieties or just one?

  26. GRIFTY_P

    What stores carry it in SF??? Gotta pick some up

  28. Dmonic666

    Dannnng! That’s gotta be some good salsa. Congrats. I’ll be sure to pick one up if I ever see it being sold.

  29. ALoafOfBrad

    I’m very sure that this tastes epic. Good work.

    Perfect post timing! Going to Chico this weekend so I know what I’ll be picking up!

  31. Fun-Meaning-9949

    Maybe I will see you down here in the Sac area. I’ll be looking for it!

  33. Sugar_Bandit

    is your salsa available in sacramento anywhere?

  34. themanhammer84

    This is awesome. I’m in the market to start doing this as well. I sell at farmers markets in my area, also located in CA. Did you have to get a cottage license class B? I’d love to pick your brain if you got a minute.
