Food and Agriculture Office Opens in Ballston Spa

BALLSTON SPA — The New York State Center of Excellence for Food and Agriculture at Cornell AgriTech (CoE) has opened a new satellite office in Saratoga County. The expansion brings Cornell’s expertise in food science, business development, and product innovation closer to food, beverage, and agriculture entrepreneurs and businesses across the Capital Region and beyond.

The new office, a collaboration between the CoE and Cornell Food Venture Center, offers:

• Business mentoring and connections to Cornell research and resources.

• Food safety testing and product development guidance in an on-site lab.

• Support for startups and established businesses to grow and succeed in New York state.

Assemblywoman Carrie Woerner secured $500,000 in state funding to help make the office possible. The office is located within the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Saratoga County at 50 W. High St. in Ballston Spa.
