FEAST food works

We’re thrilled to announce the grand opening of FEAST food works, a project that stands as a testament to strategic collaboration and cutting-edge technology! OAR provided scanning services early in the project to document the existing conditions of the building Mike acquired, laying the groundwork for a precise and reliable conceptual design phase. As the project progressed, our team led the 3D BIM coordination and VDC constructability assessments, ensuring seamless integration among equipment suppliers and contractors. The result? An accelerated construction timeline and a highly efficient installation process. Our approach underscores the value of incorporating BIM and VDC practices to enhance collaboration, accuracy, and project success. We’re proud to have supported Mike and his team in achieving a vision that balances functionality and innovation! Congratulations to everyone involved, and here’s to more groundbreaking projects ahead! #BIM #VDC #ConstructionInnovation #BuildingInformationModeling #Constructability #OAR #EngineeringExcellence #ConstructionTechnology #ProjectSuccess #3DScanning

FEAST food works hosted an open house networking event last week in our newly operational facility! In attendance were brand partners, suppliers and investors. We are thankful to all that made the trip to spend time getting to know the entire FEAST team. To those unable to join us we are always available to connect and share our story. Pictured here is Ulises M., our COO and Co-Founder, holding court in the center of our newly commissioned line. Guest queued up quickly around him to get an inside look at what we can do. Ulises commented that "it was a real pleasure to showcase our production facility where we apply lean manufacturing techniques to the benefit of both brand partners and the company, and I am thankful for all the great questions at last week's event". Ulises and his operations team are true assets, and we are grateful for their unwavering commitment to creating value for our stakeholders.

Introducing Gabriel Marchiony, R&D Manager at FEAST food works! Gabriel's expertise in recipe development and commercialization, honed through his academic and professional journey, plays a crucial role in FEAST's mission to bring innovative food products to market. This year, Gabriel brought his vast knowledge to FEAST after earning a degree in Culinary Arts and Sciences from Drexel University. His education provides a robust foundation in both the creative and technical aspects of the culinary industry, further sharpened by hands-on experience in diverse restaurant settings. It was during the Drexel Food Lab, run by Jonathan Deutsch, Ph.D., CHE, CRC, that Gabriel’s passion for research and development truly took off, where he mastered the art of solving complex product challenges with a unique blend of creativity and scientific rigor, making him an invaluable asset to FEAST's innovation efforts. Since joining FEAST, Gabriel has been instrumental in leading recipe development efforts, ensuring that each product meets the highest standards of quality and innovation. FEAST's Founder and CEO, Michael Oraschewsky, notes, “Gabriel’s approach to R&D is methodical yet inventive, always seeking to push the boundaries of what’s possible while maintaining a culinary forward focus on the practicalities of scaled production.” As FEAST continues to grow, Gabriel’s role in shaping the future of food production is set to expand, with his leadership in R&D driving the company’s vision forward. Stay tuned for more updates as FEAST progresses toward its ambitious production goals. #TeamFEAST #teammembers #valuecreation #foodmanufacturing #brandbuilding #brandpartnership

At FEAST food works, we’ve redefined what co-packing should be. As brand owners ourselves, we experienced first-hand the lack of transparency, quality, and consistency in the industry, and we knew we had to make a change. That’s why we built FEAST food works — to provide co-packing services that prioritize our brand partners. How do we do it? By leveraging a tested and integrated platform that covers every aspect of food production and distribution. From glass jar and food service format packing to in-house recipe refinement, our FDA, USDA, and SQF-certified facility ensures top-tier quality. We also offer: • 3PL services, warehousing, fulfillment, assembly and kitting • Marketing support, from brand strategy to digital presence • National reach through all major distributors Our R&D, led by Gabriel Marchiony, accelerates recipe development while maintaining flexibility for brand partner input (see Slide 4 of our presentation for more details). We believe in open-door commercialization—come cook with us until your product is just right!

Exciting News! We are thrilled to announce that last Friday marked our first official day of production at the plant, and we kicked things off with none other than the incredible Vesper Brothers' Foods sauce! We had the pleasure of working closely with John Vesper, co-founder of Vesper Brothers, who shared some kind words about his experience: "Getting to work so closely with FEAST Co-Founder and COO, Ulises M., and his production team this past week was amazing. They are the hardest workers I’ve ever seen. Ulisses went over and above to make sure our sauce was made with the same love and attention to detail my grandma would give it in her own kitchen! And of course, it all turned out perfectly!" Thank you, John, for trusting us with your family's recipe. We're excited for what's to come and can't wait to bring more delicious products to life! #FEASTfoodworks #VesperBrothers #FoodProduction #Teamwork #CulinaryExcellence

We wanted to take this time to reshare our favorite Food & Wine article that mentions Vesper Brothers as one of the top 15 jarred tomato sauces! "Want to eat a sauce that reminds you of Sunday supper at your nonna’s house? Philadelphia-based company, Vesper Brothers, has got you covered. In fact, Bill and John Vesper use the same exact 'gravy' recipe that their grandmother cooked for them as kids. The blend of the sweet ripe tomato flavor and whole basil leaves is just begging to be used in a chicken parm or as a dipper for fried calamari." We couldn't be prouder of this honor and grateful to all of you who continue to support us!

Exciting time at the 2024 UNFI Fresh Specialty Show! It was our pleasure to participate in the recent UNFI show at Pier 35 in San Francisco last week. It's an event that never disappoints. We were thrilled to put on display the creativity that defines the products of our brand partner Five Star Montauk alongside our anchor brand, TBJ Gourmet. Engaging with fellow food enthusiasts and industry professionals added to the experience. An all around memorable event. Evelyn McSpirit, FEAST's Digital Presence Manager, shared: "The UNFI event is a true marketplace centered around the creative. FEAST extends a sincere thanks to everyone who took the time to hear our story and who continue to support our brands, including our sales partner Metis Brands, LLC." Cheers Diane Roy and Kalynn Davis! FEAST. We make brands happen.

We're proud to announce our newest Brand Partner, Vesper Brothers' Foods! Vesper is all about sharing its family's home-made pasta sauce, one that has brought so many people together over the years. FEAST is grateful for the opportunity to help make that happen. FEAST will be involved in the full production of the company's pasta sauces, from procuring the real food ingredients to jarring the finished product. We aim to capture the same quality found in every jar of "gravy" that co-founders John Vesper III and William Vesper have preserved, starting with the signature marinara sauce. John added: "We are excited about our partnership with FEAST who will help us continue our commitment to keeping it real with the most important things in life- Food, Family and Friends." FEAST: We make brands happen. #feastfoodworks #brandpartner #brandpartnerannouncement #valuecreation #foodmanufacturing #brandpartnership

To innovate in the food industry we must first connect with the top leaders and pioneers in the field.
