Listen "#55 The Right Food in the Right Store - Amy Thompson, Full Shelf Foods"

Episode Synopsis

A varied background lead Amy Thompson to her food brokerage business, Full Shelf Foods. Starting as a cheesemonger, an amazing way to "learn about food" according to Amy. Talking with the consumer face to face and constantly sampling the goods and looking for new flavors gave her a great on-the-ground beginning. Cheese means talking about the entire chain, cow to process and all the agriculture in between. And cheeses come from all over the world. It gave her a tremendous understanding of putting great food on the table. Residing in NYC, she has come to find unusual foods most interesting and taking them to new markets and new consumers is her passion. Milk products seem to be a specialty, she has branched from cheeses to specialty ice cream with her recent client on the west coast. Right now, she is growing her client list, then growing her team and territories.
