Well-Pict Berries recently hosted an event with Chef Larry Forgione, a group of chefs-in-training from the Culinary Institute of America, and select members of the press for a Farm-to-Fork tour. The goal of the event was to provide the future food influencers and chefs in training a chance to experience 'where the food' comes from. The day was part of a larger educational CIA component about knowing how food is grown behind the scenes. Topics covered included the difference in berry preferences in the domestic market, as well as international/sustainable growing practices and how new proprietary non-GMO varieties are developed. Dan Crowley, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, tells AndNowUKnow, "The day offered an opportunity to get hands-on with the future flavor makers in the culinary world."<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">Freshway Foods is experiencing success with its Power Packs!
