We help two kinds of people:a) People who have passion, an idea , and want to sell something great.
b) People who are sick of wasting food and interested in turning waste into money. We help both sell more without changing what they are doing! Can we help you?Our mobile and flexible operation for food processing and packaging was created to reduce food waste and serve the food entrepreneur landscape. Operating on-site allows GAZELLE to capture food that historically is wasted, projecting to prevent more than 7Million pounds of waste while increasing revenue by $15Million in our first 12 months of operations. We do this by increasing saleable food percentages while eliminated more than 7Million kilograms of CO2-e (impacting GHG - greenhouse gases.)
Backed by four women with a combined 90 years of food industry experience, this initiative addresses key challenges critical to the food industry: sustainability, access , and safety. We process fruits, vegetables, and unique grains (wild rice) on-site at farms, kitchens, and restaurants to produce: • pasteurized juice • aseptically processed juice • dehydrated roll-ups • acidified sauces (such as BBQ, salsa, etc.) |
We transform entrepreneur ideas and food waste into viable packaged products. Speed and flexibility now offered to you on-site on a contract basis |
Our goal is you make money while we reduce food waste.
GAZELLE solves the packaging challenge for farmers, commercial kitchens, and food entrepreneurs that lack the skill sets and financial resources to process and packaging foods safely. Operating as an on-demand packaging facility, transforming food waste with processing and packaging into viable products, we offer agility and independence from capital equipment allowing for supply chain flexibility in the equipment used and staffing to process and package food where and when needed.
