At GFF, our raison d'être is to celebrate and empower the players redefining quality, sustainability, and community in our food system; so it warms our hearts to see the positive impact of our efforts. 💙 🤝 Hear from Gida Snyder, founder of Slow Island Food & Beverage Co. and a proud repeat Good Food Award winner 🏆 about how GFF has fueled her journey: "As a fledgling value-added products maker in the middle of the Pacific, becoming a finalist and ultimately winning a Good Food Award for my Passionfruit Orange Guava Culinary Syrup was a defining moment in my decision to leap into the world of CPG food products. The validation from the blind tasting from panels of esteemed judges, many of whom I have looked up to throughout my career, inspired a confidence that keeps us striving toward growth and success. I look forward each year to participating in an Awards program I can truly believe in. Mahalo and Congratulations on 15 years of Good Food!" - Gida Snyder, Founder, Slow Island Food & Beverage Co. Kaua'i, Hawai'i If you're a crafter or merchant for whom GFF has made a difference, we'd love to share your story. 💌 DM us or email your testimonial to [email protected]. #goodfoodawards #artisanfood #goodfood #foodsystem #slowislandco

Since 2010, the Good Food Awards has championed change in our food system by recognizing makers who combine exceptional craftsmanship and flavors with high standards of environmental and social responsibility. ✨ In 2025, the Good Food Awards will reflect on this journey by celebrating past winning products and honoring the people behind them. "15 Years of Good Food Awards" is a tribute to the passion and innovation of the countless artisans who have transformed the landscape of American food. Producers of all past Good Food Award-winning products are invited to submit their products for this special awards edition. All submitted products will be voted on in spring 2025 by members of the Good Food Guild and Good Food Merchants Alliance.
