Bill Besenhofer on Creating "Honest Food" for All | The CSE Podcast Ep10-S3

On this episode of the Exchange for Entrepreneurs Podcast we welcome back Bill Besenhofer, CEO of The Fresh Factory (CSE:FRSH). In this week's conversation, we chat about the platform they have  built to accelerate the growth of disruptive food and beverage brands that are vertically integrated from the farm to shelf. The Fresh Factory strives to provide tangible answers to some profound questions facing modern consumers - how do we eat healthier? How do we do this at scale? How do we get better products on the shelves for ourselves and for our children? Delivering answers to these questions comes down to a shared vision across the value-chain of those participating in the food business AND a dedication to execution from the manufacturing-end to ensure safe, consistent and healthy products end-up on consumers tables. It's not easy and Bill goes into detail as to how they are pulling it ALL together.About The Fresh FactoryThe Fresh Factory is a vertically integrated company focused on accelerating the growth of the fresh, clean-label, plant-based food and beverage brands of tomorrow.
