Business Plan
We have opened relationships with broad line distributors and aim to increase our distribution from VT, MA, and NH, to include ME, CT, RI, and NY. Yalla Foods is a partnership between an Israeli immigrant and an African American man. The foods we make tell the story of Mizrahi Jewish life in the Middle East, and combined with the ambition of an American from a historically underserved community, we have become an attractive partner for medium-sized and large grocery distributors. Yalla Vermont Hummus has become a staple of coops and independent grocers across VT, NH, and MA, and it has the potential to become a staple in the national natural foods market (Krogers, Whole Foods, etc.). The funding will allow us to complete our transition to full-time food manufacturing.

Self Identified Competition
Cedar’s, the only other certified organic, local hummus company, is our primary competitor. They are ubiquitous across perishable aisles across New England. Simply put, Yalla is THE BEST. I have put in 5 years of work as an independent contractor and fledgling business owner, to build a business that I can feel proud of. As a black man in America, this is something that I never imagined was possible for me. I not only enjoy making the best middle eastern food I have ever had, but I enjoy creating a workplace that I am proud of. One that is welcoming, inclusive, and focused on making amazing products.
