CoE Coffee, Coaching & Connections, presented by the New York State Center of Excellence for Food and Agriculture at Cornell AgriTech, is a monthly series highlighting industry and academic leaders addressing essential topics for food, beverage and agriculture entrepreneurs. 

Whole Foods Market has long been a staple across New York City and Long Island, but in recent years has expanded Upstate to Amherst, Albany and most recently, Rochester. Join us to learn what Whole Foods is looking for from suppliers, how to connect with buyers and other advice to working with this growing force in Upstate New York. 

Meet our speaker:

John Lawson - Senior Local Forager, Whole Foods Market.

The seminar is free to attend and breakfast will be provided. This hybrid seminar is available to both in-person and virtual attendees
