“We're excited to be able to introduce consumers across the country to California's amazing cheesemakers and small-scale artisans,” Raymond Rumiano, co-owner of Rumiano Cheese Company and partner at Board at Home, said.
“Artisans have been struggling, and Board at Home is our way of helping by providing a platform to showcase their world class goods to a whole new audience. Now with overnight shipping we can expand their reach all the way across the country.”
Ben Pavlovic, partner at Board at Home, said, “Since launching three months ago in three California markets, we found that many of our customers chose Board at Home for corporate gifts and a huge portion of our sales came from companies that sent kits to their entire teams for virtual group tasting events led by our world class artisans.”
The company plans to continue expanding its offerings and its virtual experiences for groups and companies. Prior to national expansion, Board at Home completed pilot programs in San Francisco, Orange County and Los Angeles, California.
