Small food business marketing

Keese's Cheeses takes food artisans to the next level by developing the business as a whole: from sales and marketing to strategic planning and funding.

We’ve been in this marketplace for 30 years. We know how to support and strengthen growing artisanal producers.

Growth with stability

We know you work hard. Probably too hard.
You are under constant stress and face new challenges at every turn.

We help restore work-life balance. And we understand exactly how to do that while still maintaining the quality of your product and the integrity of your business.
