Lindsey Rames, CEO/Founder

Mama’s Brands is a food manufacturing company founded by Lindsey Rames, a lawyer who is passionate about food that tastes good and is good for you. Lindsey built a successful law practice and became known across the country for her advocacy skills. Traveling frequently for her law practice, Lindsey found herself eating at restaurants and grabbing breakfast at coffee shops across the country.
