About ideation

Ideation, formerly known as H&F Bread CO, was started in 2008 by James Beard Award-winning Chef Linton Hopkins and his long-time friend and entrepreneur Joe Best. Starting with a single baker and three assistants operating in a 1,800-square foot facility to fill a niche, supplying great bread to restaurants who wanted “To enhance the dining experience with artisan baked goods of the highest quality and consistency with a focus on food safety and compliance”. That later became our Mission Statement.
As a steward of delivering consistent quality baked products to the marketplace, H&F received significant awards, including Top 10 Bakeries in the US by Bon Appetit Magazine, One of the Top Bakeries in the South by Southern Living One of our Head Bakers won Top 10 Bakers by Dessert Professional Magazine
In 2018 we acquired the former La Petite in Marietta and opened up our first co-manufacturing facility focusing on Gluten-Free and Allergen-free baked goods for clients who wanted to expand their current products into the marketplace.
When the pandemic hit in 2020 the fresh-baked business that had been in existence for years took a significant loss in just 1 week. In true H&F style, we did not let that hold us back from growing and were able to capitalize on what we were doing well at and expanded the co-manufacturing business to encompass both locations providing our clients with almost 90,000 sq ft of manufacturing space. It also allowed us to rebrand ourselves into Ideation.
We can't wait to tell you the rest of the story but believe us when we tell you - We are growing like crazy and we can’t wait to get you started!

H&F Bread CO fue fundada en 2008 por el chef ganador del premio James Beard Linton Hopkins y su viejo amigo y empresario Joe Best. Comenzando con un solo panadero y tres asistentes que operan en una instalación de 1,800 pies cuadrados para llenar un nicho, suministrando gran pan a los restaurantes que querían \mejorar la experiencia gastronómica con productos horneados artesanales de la más alta calidad y consistencia con un enfoque en la seguridad y el cumplimiento de los alimentos\. Eso más tarde se convirtió en nuestra Declaración de Misión.
Como administrador de la entrega de productos horneados de calidad consistente al mercado, H&F recibió premios significativos, incluyendo top 10 panaderías en los EE.UU. por Bon Appetit Magazine, una de las mejores panaderías en el sur por Southern Living Uno de nuestros panaderos principales ganó top 10 bakers por Dessert Professional Magazine
En 2018 adquirimos la antigua La Petite en Marietta y abrimos nuestra primera planta de co-fabricación centrada en productos horneados sin gluten y sin alérgenos para clientes que querían expandir sus productos actuales al mercado.
Cuando la pandemia golpeó en 2020, el negocio de recién horneados que había existido durante años tuvo una pérdida significativa en solo 1 semana. En el verdadero estilo de H &F, no dejamos que eso nos detendiera de crecer y pudimos capitalizar lo que estábamos haciendo bien y expandimos el negocio de co-fabricación para abarcar ambas ubicaciones, proporcionando a nuestros clientes casi 90,000 pies cuadrados de espacio de fabricación. También nos permitió cambiar nuestra marca en Ideación.
No podemos esperar para contarte el resto de la historia, pero créanos cuando te lo contamos: ¡Estamos creciendo como locos y no podemos esperar para que comiences!
