Seeking culinary business partner in upstate NY or New England

[samvit]

I make artisan quality specialty meats and I would like to partner with a food prep expert for a new business venture. Here's a description of the business concept I have in mind: The Old Smokehouse Market & Café (http://www.samsbutchershop.com/OldSmokehouseMarket.htm - broken link)
I'm open to different names, themes and logos. In terms of location, I really like upper New York, from Saratoga Springs through Lake Placid. However, I would consider other areas, especially parts of Vermont and New Hampshire.

You would get the full profit margin on all sales of prepared foods. We would split the rent, expenses, and any purchases of shared equipment. I come fully equipped with my own meat processing equipment (including meat grinder and large smoker), and have additional supplies and equipment for shared use such as freezers and a compressor set-up for a walk-in cooler. My current website (Sam's Butcher Shop - Specialty Meats) contains detailed descriptions of the products I make. I would be happy to send you samples in order to provide a better appreciation for the quality of the products and the craftmenship involved.

Please feel free to contact me at: sam@samsbutchershop.com

I just wanted to post a quick follow-up note on this. The partnering arrangement would not have to be in the form of a new business venture; I would also consider partnering with an existing business who would like to offer the specialty meat products that I make. This would include old fashioned smoked hams, chicken & pork barbecue, and many different sausages and deli meats.
