The Good Food Accelerator (GFA) has played a groundbreaking role in developing Chicago food business startups since FamilyFarmed founded it in 2014. Now the program is taking the next steps in its evolution with a new cohort of nine better-for-you businesses, an expanded effort to assist entrepreneurs in underserved Chicago communities, and new Managing Director Shelby Parchman.
This was all on display on February 7, when GFA took the spotlight at Naturally Chicago’s Friday Morning Mingle.
