The Food Academy programme available through the Local Enterprise Office collaborates with small businesses on their journey from beyond the start-up phase right through to getting their product on Supervalu shelves
Food Academy collaborates with small businesses on their journey from beyond the start-up phase right through to getting their product on Supervalu shelves. Through workshops, mentoring and the opportunity to pitch to SuperValu team, this is a unique opportunity to see your product on the shelf of one of Ireland’s leading retailers.
To help develop Ireland’s artisan food industry, the Local Enterprise Offices, SuperValu and Bord Bia joined forces in 2013 to create ‘Food Academy’ – a tailored Food Business Development programme for early to mid-stage food business owners.
There are now over 300 Food Academy small producers in Supervalu stores and half of all Food Academy participants expect sales to increase by 50% or more over the next 12 months.
