For 32 years, CADE is NY’s longest running farm & food business incubator based in the Mohawk Valley, aimed at increasing agribusiness profitability, driving economic growth, nourishing communities, and building a thriving food system. Joining with SUNY Cobleskill in 2015--a first recipient of the ESD Business Incubator grants--CADE incubated/accelerated nearly 2,000 agribusinesses across the supply chain. Over 8 yrs, CADE’s capacity has grown, prompting us to apply for our own ESD grant, while continuing our partnership with SUNY Cobleskill as independent entities. We deliver innovative, relevant content through technical assistance, education, mentoring, partnerships, advocacy and research on: • business & product development • access to capital, enterprise budgeting & financial planning • legal support • market R&D/planning • producer/buyer matchmaking
