Last Saturday we celebrated the graduation of the 13th cohort of Alchemist Microenterprise Academy at Empress Tavern! This wonderful event celebrated the hard work of 17 food businesses graduating from the cohort and featured amazing samples of their products. Thanks to Councilmember Phil Pluckebaum for sharing some inspiring words with our graduates. AMA is a 12-week class covering topics fundamental to growing a food business. Our next cohort will be in spring. Congrats to the graduates!
