This is the first of three in-person Value-Added Dairy Processing discussion groups in Western NY.  We're grateful for Eden Valley Creamery (5/3), for hosting us. We'll start each visit with a light lunch at Noon, a tour of our host site, and then ample time for Q&A and group discussion until 2pm. 

Registration for these is required and limited.  Value-Added Dairy Tour participants from the trip in March will have priority to join us - but still be sure to RSVP soon. Register by calling/texting Margaret Quaassdorff (585-405-2567) or Katelyn Walley (716-640-1095).

 

Please reach out with any questions or concerns (or to register)!

2025 Cornell Food Beverage & Animal Feed Manufacturer Survey

December 19, 2025

Industry and Educational Advocates for New York State's Food, Beverage, and Animal Feed Manufacturing industries:

As you know, NYS has a diverse food and beverage manufacturing industry, in both the types of industries that exist and the wide distribution of firms by scale. Many manufacturing firms have strong backward linkages to agricultural production sectors in the state that support both farm-level and downstream food industry firms and consumers. In collaboration with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, a team from Cornell University's Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management has recently rolled out the 2025 New York State Food, Beverage, and Animal Feed Manufacturer Survey. The industry will benefit from an updated assessment of the industry that informs private and public investments and opportunities to support firm growth and improved profitability.
