Recipe platform & new product incubation plan

Fruit Turnovers

Classic pastries. Extraordinary fruit fillings.

A proposed recipe, consumer education, foodservice development and future commercial product platform featuring premium fruit ingredients, with potential future participation from the California Made Network, Hill View Packing and Gustine’s.

The website would initially focus on recipes, preparation techniques, coffee pairings and fruit education, while developing opportunities for commercially manufactured turnovers, fruit fillings and related bakery products.
