For years I dreamed of producing and marketing my Grandmother's pioneer recipe but had no idea how to get started. Fortunately I found the Food Entrepreneur Assistance Program at the University of Nebraska Food Processing Center. They guided me through each step and my dream came true. I am now marketing Pucker Smack -pickled vegetables in a sweet tangy mustard sauce.

The audit went well. The auditor was impressed with HACCP plan. We have definitely come a long way and it worked great. We were able to show our documents with the information to back it up. Thanks so much for your help.

As we went through the entrepreneur seminar and program and finished, we realized how much detailed information from the Food Processing Center staff had helped us. The Food Entrepreneur Program was a concise overview of all aspects of getting our new product out of the idea mode and into the reality of a store product. Working with the staff expertise, as we continually fine-tune different aspects of our products and begin the process of new product introduction, has been a tremendous benefit to our company. We are fortunate to have this program available in Nebraska.

The assistance that DeMars Foods received from the University of Nebraska was great! Their knowledge and expertise were valuable to us as we launched our product 'Meat Man's Marinade'. From the beginning they helped DeMars Foods with the steps necessaary to put 'Meat Man's Marinate' on the shelves. They guided us in our venture with suggestions for labeling, pricing, and marketing. They were with us from the beginning through our first two wholesalers shows.
