“Working with Cara was a delight from start to finish. She was knowledgeable, supportive and a great resource and sounding board to discuss ideas with. She was always there when I needed her and extremely patient and helpful throughout the entire process. After having such terrible prior experiences with other companies, it was a blessing to work with such a genuine, honest and competent individual.”

“I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience working with Cara. She is highly professional, organized and has kept me motivated and working towards my goal in a way that I couldn’t have done on my own. She has a lot of knowledge about the natural products industry, and was so helpful in making connections and answering questions about specific details that saved me hours of research. I would wholeheartedly recommend Cara to anyone considering starting up a natural products small food business.”
Kristin Fillingham
Founder, Greenwood Naturals
"I initially started working with Cara in hopes of creating a business plan and ended up leaving with much more. With her help I was able to rebrand and repackage my product as well as establishing a proper business plan and financial forecast. I attribute my increase in sales to our work together. I now have been able to take my business from side hustle to my full time focus. Cara was very reliable, professional and a pleasure to work with. I am looking forward to working together again in the near future."

“Cara is someone you want on your team! She is the ying to a foodpreneur’s yang: super diligent, detail-oriented and bringing so much knowledge from her background in CPG and product development. I felt in great hands with Cara overseeing my packaging updates and consulting on my wholesale activities — plus she’s lovely to work with.”

“I'm so lucky to have found Cara before my first product launched! Cara came in and really took my business to the next level and helped me learn and grow in the process. She elevated the business plan, helped submit a grant, created detailed product pricing, my financial plan, competitive consumer research, label regulation research, a buyer’s deck, wholesale and spec sheets, a marketing plan and so much more! As I’m sure many entrepreneurs can relate, starting a business and going from idea to reality is a huge undertaking and can feel a little lonely at times but Cara came in with her expertise and friendliness and made it feel like effortless teamwork. No matter where you are in your business; start-up phase or products on the market, Cara can help you take it to the next level. She is sincere, honest, creative, hard-working and has so much expertise and knowledge in both the natural product industry and marketing. I would wholeheartedly recommend her!”

She went above and beyond in her methodical approach to completing competitive and consumer research, new product development, packaging design and labelling regulations research for Rawcology. Cara's passion for the natural products industry shines through and her work is always thoughtful, meticulous, and creative. I am confident that Rawcology is headed in the right direction for success and I have Cara to thank for playing a significant role in achieving our expansion goals for the year."
Tara Tomulka
Founder, Rawcology
“As a sole owner, working by myself has its challenges. Working with Cara has been such a breath of fresh air. Her intuitive nature gives her the ability to know just how to approach every situation. She always knows when I need her to step in and help with a decision or when she needs to take more of a supporting role and provide just a little guidance to help me arrive at the solution. She is great at holding me accountable to finish tasks I say I will complete and she does it with such professionalism and grace. Cara is very well organized and her expertise in the natural product space is undeniable. I would highly recommend working with Cara if you need business support in a variety of areas.”
