Sarah loves good food. In an at-the-farmers-market-every-weekend, read-every-ingredient-on-the-back-of-that-package kind of way.

So much so, that she co-founded a food business back in 2012 with the goal of building community around good food. It was her dream business, but the finances couldn’t support it long term, so, with a broken heart she had to close up shop after 2 years of business.

But, after honing these skills and building proven, repeatable methods and systems, she founded Sarah Delevan Consulting in 2017. Since then she’s helped good food businesses across the country achieve financial sustainability and profitability, and remains steadfast in her mission to change our food system one profitable good food business at a time.
