Next Level Foods is a family-run small cottage food kitchen proudly serving our hometown of Fountain Hills. We offer high quality foods, treats and beverages, originally crafted for our family that we still eat today. Each product has a unique story behind it. All our products are prepared with love, using the best ingredients, and held to the highest standards. We’re excited to bring them to you!

Our Vision

At Next Level Foods, we’re not trying to reinvent the wheel. To us, “next level foods” means the merging of old-world culinary preparation techniques with the best modern equipment and standards to bring small batch cooking to the next level. Where old standards lend to superior flavor and health benefits, we adhere to the old standard. Where technology enhances the product, we embrace the technology. Thanks to the Maricopa County Cottage Food Program, we are now able to share with you the foods that give our family the most joy.

Our Experience

Founder Scott Stedeford is a ServSafe Certified Food Manager with professional experience in cooking, baking, food handling and preparation, product development, and nutrition. Scott’s passion for food was inspired by his Italian mother, who made every meal from scratch and was known for her unforgettable dishes and desserts. His early exposure to wholesome, homemade food sparked a later interest in nutrition and ignited a deeper passion for how food directly impacts personal health and wellbeing.

Scott's experience came full circle while caring for his mother in her later years. Faced with dietary sensitivities and a lack of suitable commercial options, he had to make his mother’s favorite foods from scratch. Soon, he was making them for his whole family and selling some of those products at the restaurant he managed.

Scott is committed to providing the total food experience, from the quality of ingredients to the preparation process to the final product. What began in his home, he's proud to share with you. Enjoy!
