Earlier this week, nearly 150 City Harvest volunteers rescued 78,315 pounds of the world's highest-quality foods, including wheels of cheese, jars of artisanal jam, olives, and so much more, at the close of Specialty Food Association's Summer Fancy Food Show at the Javits Center. Our trucks then delivered to Salt & Sea Mission, Teen Challenge, Children of the Light Ministry, and Open Door Family Life Center in Brooklyn; Evangel Christian Center in Queens; and Vision Urbana Pantry in Manhattan. Thank you to all of the partners, volunteers, and food donors who help make it possible for City Harvest to rescue all of this incredible food and deliver it to our neighbors in need! #WeAreCityHarvest

What does the increasing use of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic mean for #specialtyfood manufacturers? That was just one of many topics covered at the SFA Trendspotter Panel session. The audience got fresh-from-the-oven insights on key trends from the 2024 Summer #FancyFoodShow, before the Show even closed! The Trendspotters noted that a shift towards smaller portions among consumers is rapidly gaining momentum due to several factors: ✔️The increase in remote work with flexible hours ✔️Advancements in the snacking industry ✔️The growing popularity of GLP-1 medications This evolving behavior presents makers with an opportunity to strategically adapt their product lines to stay relevant and meet the changing needs of their customers. #wefancy

SFA’s Maker Prep Course brought early-stage food entrepreneurs together at the Summer #FancyFoodShow to kick off a six-month crash course in doing business in the food industry. Over two days of in-person workshops onsite at the Show, participants got to know each other and gained guidance from expert speakers. Big thanks to the Makers for joining us and diving into the program, and to the expert coaches who led the workshops. We look forward to working with you through this Class’ graduation at the 2025 Winter Fancy Food Show! #wefancy
