A HUGE DAY FOR EMKAO FOODS! 📢✨ Today, we hosted an official press event to preview our future chocolate production and cocoa processing space at 73 Griswold St in Binghamton, and to officially launch our community crowdfunding campaign!
We are so incredibly excited to share this space and our vision for farm-to-factory ethical cocoa, radical transparency, and sustainability in the chocolate industry.
We could not have reached this milestone today without the incredible ecosystem that lifts up local entrepreneurs. A massive, heartfelt THANK YOU to the partners who have championed our vision and helped us get the space ready for this next chapter:
✨ The Koffman Southern Tier Incubator () – for providing the space, mentorship, and resources to help us grow.
✨ The City of Binghamton () – for welcoming us into the local business community with open arms (and the incredible momentum from the BLDC Business Plan Competition!).
✨ The Small Business Development Center (SBDC) – for the invaluable guidance, advisory, and endless support.
✨ SUNY Broome () – for being such an amazing community partner in education and regional growth.
🚀 THE BIG NEWS: Our community crowdfunding campaign is OFFICIALLY LIVE! We have a $50,000 goal to fund the specialized manufacturing equipment needed to build out this facility and bring it to full operational capacity.
We need our community now more than ever to help us bring this facility to life and build the future of ethical chocolate in Binghamton.
