OTH #3: Tina Levy, Co-Founder, First Hand Foods -- Lessons From The Sausage Wagon
“The sausage wagon was my trial by fire.”
Tina Levy is our guest on OTH #3.
She's the co-founder at First Hand Foods -- a marketplace that connects local farmers with chefs, restaurants, retailers, and caterers that want to offer top quality beef, pork, lamb, and poultry to their customers.
The business started as a food truck -- a sausage wagon to be exact -- and has grown into a strong brand and a great business with a network of growers, restaurants, and customers throughout the southeast.
In this episode, Tina discusses how she has has had to navigate complicated supply chain issues, food safety regulations, and changes in customer preference over her 10 years running the business.
One might say that this one is a -- ahem -- meaty episode.
