Located in Salem, New Hampshire, resides the Original Gourmet Food Company. This company is considered the “World’s Best” and continuously strives to be just that, best in the world. Although the New Hampshire supplier is known for their delicious lollipops, they also produce various other unique snacks and treats.

In 2020, the Original Gourmet Food Company gained 4 new agent relationships, with the help of Food Export-Northeast’s Food Show PLUS!™ services at the Gulfood Show. By the end of the program year, this company has reported approximately $50,000 in export sales due to using Food Export's programs and services. This number is expected to double within the next twelve months!

The Original Gourmet Food Company has participated in many of Food Export's programs and services over the last six years. They have attended multiple Buyers Missions, used Food Show PLUS! show services, attended webinars, and used Food Export's Market Builder service.

Food Export uses funding from the Market Access Program (MAP) to help America’s small businesses increase their exports of food and agricultural products. As these exports increase, these small businesses are creating jobs and improving the strength and stability of our agricultural economy. Food Export-Midwest and Food Export-Northeast are non-profit organizations that work in collaboration with their member state departments of agriculture and the USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service. They offer a wide range of programs and services that help boost America’s agricultural exports.
