About Rebecca Starts a Business

I’m Rebecca. I’m starting a specialty food company called Deluxe Foods. I’ve been in and out of the food world for the last 20 years–I’ve been a catering manager, a barista, a fine-dining restaurant hostess, a tea server, editor of the Amazon.com cookbook and kitchen stores, and a cookbook agent. This is my first time as a food producer. Someone thought I should blog about the process of starting the business, so here we are.

Deluxe Foods jams, jellies, chutneys, and sauces are created from peak-of-the-season, organic, or sustainably grown fruits and vegetables from Washington. You will be able to buy them this summer. Hungry yet?

    Hi Rebecca.
    I love reading your blog not only because i cannot wait to see you get your products out there, but because i am in a similar moment in my own business planning and reading your progress has been very inspiring.
    To that end, my business is a retail venture, and i would love to carry your products – but was unable to contact you through your new website!
    would love to hear form you when you have a minute, so we can discuss the possibility of working together.
    Good luck, and some sunshine for the strawberries in the meantime…

      Hi, Karyn! Thanks so much for the kind words AND for noting that there’s not an e-mail address on the site! I will fix it on the blog right away and on the site soonish (it takes more thinking on my part to update the site). In the meantime, you can find me at rebecca@deluxe-foods.com. I can’t wait to hear more about your venture! Thanks! Rebecca
