AFWA Grant: $10,000
Brewed like beer, aged like wine, steeped like tea, and sipped like espresso, FOND Bone Broth tonics are unique, locally sourced, and hand-crafted. Founders Alysa and Isaac Seeland of San Antonio want to inspire families to cook and recognize their unique blends of bone broths as not only culinary forward but as a foundation of wellness and a healthy diet.
The grant helped FOND expand into refrigerated shipping and create an e-commerce platform to serve a greater audience. Growth plans include the formation of the Foodmakers Freedom Alliance, a nonprofit allowing small scale startups to access food processing experts and equipment without individually making an expensive investment on their own.
