From Family Necessity to Community Impact: Cassie Michael Shares the Story Behind Food and Meat Co-op
We’re beyond excited to share a recent feature that highlights the heart and hustle behind Food and Meat Co-op! 🎉
Our very own founder, Cassie Michael, was featured in an interview with the Utah Innovation Center, where she opened up about how a personal challenge turned into a powerful mission to serve families across Utah and beyond.
Cassie’s journey started with a simple need—to feed her growing family high-quality food without breaking the bank. What began as a personal mission quickly grew into a community-driven movement that’s now helping thousands of families access wholesale-priced meat, pantry staples, and more—without sacrificing quality or values.
In the article, you’ll learn:
- How a homegrown solution became a thriving community co-op
- The creative strategies behind sourcing and distribution
- Why transparency, simplicity, and family-first values are the backbone of our business
But that’s not all...
Cassie also sat down for a powerful podcast episode with the team at Business Elevated where she dove deeper into the behind-the-scenes story of Food and Meat Co-op. 🎙️
