The New Jersey Food Council’s annual golf outing at Suburban Golf Club in Union this past July was its largest event to date.
Widely recognized as the must-attend networking event of the year for the New Jersey food sector, the event which gathers food industry leaders from across the industry has proven to be a great way to foster connect connections among executives, suppliers and associates.
“We are pleased to host the premier industry golf event that exceeds our expectations every year,” NJFC President Linda Doherty said. “The camaraderie of the members at this outing is like no other food industry event. This enormously popular outing always brings out a wide variety of leaders and suppliers from across the sector.”
Specialty stations and generous sponsorships kept spirits high throughout the day. Participants also enjoyed an overflowing goody bag packed with healthy snacks and beverages from NJFC’s retailers, supplier members and partners. Sampling stations featured new products from BonDo Stir In Flavour Bits, Jessie’s Mocktails, RebelApe, Shamrock Farms, United Food Brands, Vibal Energy Tea and Zenjoy.
