The Grocers Project of Farm to Plate & Small Bites E-news hosts this conversation on the variables of selling food brands. Our small but mighty panel includes a wealth of knowledge about the food industry: Greg Esslinger formerly of UNFI on distributor deduction impact on brands, Joe Dickson formerly of Whole Foods & currently with Lot 49 Advisors on organic compliance & differentiation, Shad Christopoulos covers distribution as an employee of Rainforest Distribution & formerly Associated Buyers. We have representatives from food production to retail grocery digging deep into pertinent retail & regional topics on growing your food brand from the farm through to retail.
All food businesses are encouraged to attend and share first-hand insights on selling and purchasing strategies. Bring your questions, share your experiences on this engaging day. Consider this a first conversation that cracks into the nature of successfully selling our regional brands and supports the goals of New England Feeding New England. We get down to business, learning about the businesses across the food industry.
All businesses and organizations that hold a place in the New England food shed are welcome to attend.
