About Fed Up Foods

Fed Up Foods creates small batch, artisanal canned goods utilizing imperfect produce whenever possible. We preserve produce at it's peak and source from small, local farms and orchards in central Wisconsin. Fed Up Foods was founded in December of 2019 by current owner, Melissa Haack and a close friend who left the business early on to pursue other dreams. Fed Up Foods is a beautiful illustration of what I know and continue to learn. Previously employed as a produce buyer at a food co-operative and doing work trade on small organic farms, I saw a lot edible but imperfect produce going to waste. I wanted to find a place for all of the miscreant produce that I was surrounded by. I knew how to can from seeing my Mother do it as a child, and with her only a phone call away, I refined my food preservation skills. When I finished a canning day and looked over at a table of hot jars, listening to them 'pop' and seal, I noticed that I felt a deep sense of resilience, joy, and meaning. What started in a small kitchen with a big idea transformed into what we now know as Fed Up Foods. We continue to learn and thrive in Stevens Point, WI. Thanks for joining me on this journey!
