small batch mochi with very big opinions.

preserves from the orchard gate, nothing added.

One to three a month, matched by a human to your stage and channel. Never a mailout, never a list.
Eight to a table, off the record, in Norfolk. The people worth knowing, and a long evening to do it properly.
Quarterly briefs on category, retail buyers, distribution and the capital landscape. Read, not skimmed.
Three a year with Tastebuds, on brand, content and execution. Built for people who already trade.
A printed welcome book, hand delivered. A founder pack. A directory page that is yours.
Profile, intros, calendar and contacts in one place, backed up to your own Google Drive.
if this sounds like you, we would like to read your application.
a curated buying day, built so the meetings actually land.
Members get first call on seats. Sit across the table from Waitrose, Ocado and the buyers worth your morning.
