Welcome to Off the Grid CPG edition! 🍜

Today on the show, I’m joined by Molly Clark of Taking Stock Foods to talk about farmers’ markets, food retail, and the realities of consumer product goods businesses.

Molly is the co-founder and CEO of Taking Stock Foods, a functional beverage company based in St. Paul, MN. She is dedicated to being a leader in the conscious food movement, supporting and uplifting other founders in the maker space through intentional vulnerability and authentic connection.

Tune in to our conversation to learn:

• Molly’s lessons from selling at farmers’ markets
• The realities of getting shelf space in major retailers like Whole Foods
• How to cultivate a sustainable cofounder relationship
• Pros & cons of selling products through Amazon
• More about COGs, MOQs, UGC and all the retail acronyms
• & How Taking Stock Foods is changing their product line & pivoting away from IRL retail in 2025!

 
This episode is full of wisdom for anyone in the food and/or retail spaces. And it’s also a great listen for those of us in other industries who love to learn from values-aligned peers!
