About The Show:
“When you are really taking a painstaking approach to make sure the ingredients are of a high quality, the work and effort that goes into that are that much and it lasts a lot longer”.
- Stephanie Kirkpatrick
Stephanie Kirkpatrick, an entrepreneur with a knack for wholesome food, found her footing in Northwest Arkansas. She started with Bartleby's, a food truck renowned for its delicious, all-natural cutlet sandwiches. As the truck gained traction, Stephanie realized the need for a broader platform to reach more customers.
That's where Ozark Natural Foods Co-Op came in. This community-focused grocery store embraced Stephanie's vision, offering her products a coveted spot in their refrigerated section. The partnership couldn't have been more fruitful; Bartleby's items quickly became a hit among the Co-Op's clientele, who appreciated the quality and flavor of her offerings.
Now with a line of sauces and nuggets in the pipeline, Stephanie credits much of her success to the relationships and opportunities provided by the Co-Op. Her business is not just surviving, but thriving, thanks in part to the supportive and like-minded community that the Co-Op has cultivated.
