I'm in the Chicago area and have produced an all-natural 100% gourmet fruit juice. I'd like to connect with a food broker specializing in this area, or who can move this kind of product. Not sure where to start. Any suggestions?

Can you private label? Do you produce or Co Pack?

I am not a co-packer.

Would you be available to speak offline about distribution?

There is this site which gives information on grocery store and supermarket industry. Progressive Grocer. They may have some details of brokers or any other way to promote your product. I'm sure they have pretty good industry data with them.
