Crafting Memories: How Legacy Foods Creates Personalized Products At Legacy Foods, we believe that food has the power to create lasting memories. Our mission is to not only provide delicious teas, soups, and sauces, but also to offer our customers the opportunity to create personalized products that honor their loved ones. In this blog post, we will explore how Legacy Foods crafts these special products and how you can create your own personalized item. When you think of Legacy Foods, imagine a cozy kitchen filled with warmth and laughter. Our team of passionate women, inspired by family stories and a history of being healers, gather around in the heart of the home, the kitchen, to create personalized products. This image represents the heart and soul of our business, where the art of food crafting comes to life. The process of creating a personalized product at Legacy Foods is a collaborative one. We work closely with our customers to understand their vision and the story behind the person they want to honor. Whether it's a beloved family member, a dear friend, or even a cherished pet, we want to capture the essence of their memory in every bite. Our offerings currently include teas, beverages and spice blends, but in the future we hope to branch out to soups, and sauces, each carefully crafted with the finest ingredients. Here are the detailed steps in the process of curating your own legacy:


Initial consultation:

  • Questionnaire: A detailed questionnaire to capture specific memories, thoughts, likes, dislikes, any particulars as well as the chosen charitable organization that will be donated to on behalf of the namesake. A high quality image of the namesake is to be submitted with the questionnaire. (digital or otherwise, we are flexible and convert if needed)

Custom Blend Creation

  • Selection of Ingredients: Based on the consultation, a unique blend of herbs, spices, flowers, and other botanicals is selected.

  • Expert Blending: I will personally create the custom blend, balancing flavors, aromas, and desired effects

Sample Tasting

  • Initial Samples: The client receives a initial sample of the custom blend to taste and provide feedback. (1 sample test/adjustment included with the purchase, additional samples/adjustments will require a fee)

  • Adjustments: Based on feedback, the blend is adjusted to perfect the flavor, aroma, and overall experience.

Packaging

  • Customized Packaging: The tea is packaged in customized packaging, which includes the Legacy Foods branding, a product name label inspired by the legacy questionnaire provided, net weight of the product and category.

  • Information Labels: Packaging includes information about the blend, ingredients, brewing instructions, charitable donation details and any special messages.

Final Blend Production

  • Batch Production: Once the blend is finalized, a case is produced for the client.

  • Quality Assurance: The final product undergoes quality checks to ensure consistency and adherence to specifications.

Delivery

  • Shipping Options: The finished product is delivered to the client within 5 days of final production.

  • Subscription Services: For clients who desire additional ongoing delivery of their product by the case, this can be arranged at a 10% discount of the retail price of the final product. But it doesn't stop there. At Legacy Foods, we believe in giving back to the community. That's why a percentage of the sales from personalized products goes to charity. By choosing Legacy Foods, you not only honor the memory of your loved one but also contribute to a cause that is close to your heart. Creating a personalized product at Legacy Foods is a truly unique experience. Here are a few tips to help you get started: 1. Reflect on the person you want to honor: Think about their favorite flavors, ingredients, scents, colors, culinary traditions. What made them unique? What memories do you want to capture? 2. Collaborate with our team: Reach out to us and share your vision. We will guide you through the process and help you select the perfect ingredients and flavors. 3. Embrace the process: Creating a personalized product takes time and care. Enjoy the journey and trust that the end result will be a beautiful tribute to your loved one. 4. Share your story: Once you have your personalized product, share the story behind it with your friends and family. Let them experience the love and memories that inspired its creation. It is a way to connect, heal, and honor the ones we love. Join us in crafting memories and creating personalized products that celebrate the lives of those who have touched our hearts. Nourishing legacies and healing futures, together.
