Co-Packer Panel and Discussion

How Do You Get Your Food Product from the Kitchen to the Market?

Developing a great food product is only part of the journey. Figuring out how to produce, package, distribute, and scale it can be just as challenging. That’s why we’re opening this month’s Value-Added Food Production Program (VAFPP) meeting to the public for a special Co-Packer Panel & Discussion!

📅 September 16 | 1–3 PM
📍 Prentice Hall (IRV Offices), SUNY Cobleskill Ag & Tech

Hear directly from local food businesses, co-packers, distributors, and industry experts about what it really takes to move a product from development into production and distribution.

We’ll talk about:
• Finding and working with co-packers
• Scaling food production
• Distribution and getting products to market
• Lessons learned from businesses doing it themselves
• And plenty of time for audience Q&A

This is a great opportunity for food entrepreneurs who are thinking about their next step or anyone who wants to better understand the path from “I’ve got a product” to “I can sell this product.”
