What we make
Who we work with
Co-manufacturing is ideal for small businesses that:
- Are just starting out and need help scaling their recipes.
- Struggle with production and want to focus on sales, marketing and growth.
- Operate under a cottage food license and are preparing to become store ready.
- Need to outsource production but fall below larger manufacturers' minimum order quantities.
Full service support for small businesses
Everything from recipe to shipping.
01
Production
Contract manufacturing
Flexible production for gluten free baked goods, with smaller runs for growing brands.

02

Two ways to work with us
Wherever you are, start here.
Ready for production?
Have an established recipe and product specifications? We’ll review your product, packaging, and expected volumes to determine whether we’re a good fit for manufacturing.
Need help getting there?
Scaling a recipe involves more than making a larger batch. Recipe adaptation, development, and production trials are available as separately scoped and quoted services.
Early stage founders are welcome to inquire.
You don’t have to have everything figured out to start a conversation.
Why work with us
Made by bakers who run a brand.
We make, sell and grow Nut Just a Cookie ourselves. Every lesson about scaling a recipe, sourcing ingredients, labeling and getting onto store shelves, we learned with our own product first.
You can find our own cookies at Erewhon, Mother’s Market, Laurel Supply and Rainbow Grocery.
Our own bakery
A dedicated facility in Santa Ana gives us flexibility, personalized service and close control over quality.
Small batch friendly
Test runs are welcome, and we can scale up with you over time.
Dedicated gluten free
The entire facility is gluten free.
Family run, hands on
We are a family business with a hands on approach to every project.
Get in touch
Tell us where you are.
We’ve been there.
Building a food business takes courage, perseverance, patience, and the right partnerships. Whether you’re just starting or ready for your next stage of growth, tell us a little about your product and what you need. You don’t have to have everything figured out to start a conversation.
We receive many inquiries, and preparing a thoughtful production quote takes time and upfront work. The more you can share about your product, where you currently sell, and your production needs, the more useful and accurate our response can be.
We’ll be honest about whether we’re a good fit and, where possible, suggest another direction if we’re not. This is a partnership. Your success is our success.
