AUSTIN, TX
Whole Foods Market is announcing the winners of the
annual Whole Foods Supplier Awards. Every year, the retailer honors its producer partners that collectively stock the shelves. Suppliers are honored for embodying the core values and overall mission of the company.
Thousands of suppliers were considered and fewer than 50 received awards. Of the awards, two were given to companies who supply the dairy category. In a press release, Whole Foods announced the awards given to Vermont Creamery and Brown Cow:
"
Excellence in Cheese: Vermont Creamery – for commitment to premium quality products, supporting team member education, for partnering with Whole Foods Market to develop exclusive maple syrup and sea Salt butter and vanilla crème fraiche. The brand is also recognized for its contribution to sustainable agriculture through a new commercial goat dairy with support from Evergreen Conservation Partners and Whole Foods Market’s Local Producer Loan Program."
"
Best New Product: Brown Cow – for helping Whole Foods Market reinvent the yogurt category with the exclusive launch and stunning success of its Non-GMO Project Verified Greek yogurt, the first-ever conventional non-GMO verified yogurt on the market."
Congratulations to both of these companies on their supplier awards from Whole Foods!
