Our founder and president, Dan Heiges, started Natural Development in Boulder, CO in April of 2007 with the idea of making food and beverage development a partnership. Dan wanted to educate clients about product development and the broader process of bringing their products to market, so they could make more informed decisions down the road. Our team consists of food scientists and chefs with rich, varied backgrounds and experiences so we can consistently offer expertise for any category, segment, diet, or process. We repeatedly have great relationships with our clients because of our ability to deliver award-winning products, provide honest input based on years of experience, and act as a support system even after formulations are finished. Over the years we have made many friends in the food and beverage community. We often have current or past clients stopping by our lab to ask a follow-up question or just say hello. We are also a member of Naturally Boulder, a natural products community, where we frequent networking events and work with several other members (so many start-ups!) on exciting projects. Most recently, we have celebrated becoming a B Corp and evaluating how our practices impact our employees, our community, the environment, and our customers.
