Letter From the President
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear MSFA Members,
As we enter this New Year of 2005, our thoughts and
support go out to those whose lives have been
forever changed by the effects of the tsunami. I
trust that we MSFA members are opening our hearts
and our pocketbooks to those who are in such great
need at this time. There are many reputable non-
profit relief agencies that need our support, such as
The American Red Cross, Oxfam America, etc. See
www.usaid.gov
for an extensive listing of relief organizations working
in the disaster area.
MSFA Annual Meeting at the Lanam Club was a
smashing success with great networking, company
displays, delicious food, recognition ceremony and
relevant keynote address by Boston Herald food
editor, Jane Dornbusch. Especially heartening at
Annual Meeting this year was the outpouring of
support by MSFA members who donated clothing and
books for the tea pickers of Darjeeling, India, an
initiative spearheaded by Maureen Ryan of Notting
Hall. To view photos from Annual Meeting, please

MSFA "Taste of Massachusetts" Gift Basket
Program
Progress
By Alison Chateauneuf,
Coordinator
(To View the Baskets and/or Order, click onto
www.msfa.net,
then "Gift Baskets" then
"A Taste of Massachusetts")
We have started promotion of the Baskets in a few
different areas:
1)Annual Meeting and again at the Tree Lighting at
the Statehouse December 9th. It was a very good
affair and the baskets made a wonderful
presentation. The Governor and a couple of Senators
showed a good deal of interest in obtaining the
baskets for people that they send items.. And,
individuals took the beautiful full color flyers with
photographs by Ellen Callaway of Callaway Photo and
design by Bohoy Design.
2) The MA Dept. of Agricultural Resources has also
inserted 200 flyers in the Ag in the Classroom
Calenders that will be given to all the Representative
and State Senators over the next week.
3) We have had a wonderful opportunity presented to
us through Susan Allison of Thoreau Foods. We were
offered an ad in the Massachusetts Vacation Guide at
a significant discount.
This publication can be viewed on
http://www.massvacation.com/. The publication
prints 750,000 magazine type publications; 250,000
are distributed to the high end zip code areas via the
New York Times. The advertisement consists of a 1/2
page, four color ad on the right side of the page.
There is also an insert placed in the magazine so that
active leads for the baskets can be requested, of
which our sales flyers will be sent out to the
requestor.
Guide is due out in March/April.
The basket program is a self funding program, in order
to do this campaign, all participants in the program
will neet to pitch in. Susan and I have talked to a
number of people and have received a very
favorable "Yeah" to do this. This is truly a good way
to stretch our advertising dollars! We figure cost per
participant of the basket will be around $100.
10% of every basket will be donated to the MSFA by
Pemberton Farms to help to build a revenue stream
for the organization and help us grow our businesses
too! Many thanks to Pemberton Farms for their
support of this program and for making the program
possible. It is a WIN-WIN for us all. So promote the
baskets. Have a newsletter? Promote the
baskets...send them to the MSFA website, not only
can they read about the baskets but they can
possibly review the members list and find a diverse
group of individuals who make some fantastic
products!
Thoreau Foods put it in their newsletter and
4
Baskets were sold that we know of, to one individual.
KUDO"s to Thoreau Foods!
If you would like any flyers please let me know and I
will send them out to you.
Thank your for you effort and support in this project.
It is greatly appreciated!

Ever So Humble Pie Company was contacted in
August by the producers of the show Recipe For
Success which airs on the Food Network, Tuesdays
at 9:30pm. They expressed interest in featuring

began her pie company. The show not only
showcases the particular products that a company
produces, but also the nuts and bolts of how the
company came into being, the costs incurred and the
ongoing management and entrepreneurial challenges
that are faced.
They spent two days with the company in early
October filming at both the Farmer's Market in Milton
and the manufacturing site in East Walpole. They
interviewed Andrea and all her employees, family

Sampsons Featured on NBC Today Show "In
Style" Segment
On Wed., Oct. 20, 2004.
Amy E. Goodman, editor of In Style magazine gave
the "Today" show's Ann Curry some suggestions for
hostess gifts for holiday events and dinners.
"Complete the beverages with some sweet or savory
handmade nuts by Sampsons, sure to be a party
pleaser with their unusual flavors: citrus-curried
cashews, sweet and spicy pecans, wild and smoky
pistachios, hot and sassy almonds or dark and
decadent pecans ($5 for a 5-ounce bag; 877-977-
0077 or
sampsonsnuts.com)."
***************
Sampson's in Daily Candy
You know what they say. Good things come in small
batches.
Well, okay. That's not exactly how it goes.
But that's the claim of Sampsons, a company that
handmakes delicious nut creations. The brightly
colored packages contain inventive mixtures - citrus-
curried cashews, spicy almonds, smoky pistachios -
all made from hand-tossed spices to ensure the very
best taste.
As for what to do with the confections, Sampsons
has a few suggestions: The six-pack sampler makes a
great present. Try the citrus-curried cashews on
spinach salad or coconut ice cream. For something
really special, throw some of the sweet and spicy
pecans into your next serving of oatmeal.
Of course, you can always just pop 'em straight into
your mouth.
But we can't guarantee that you'll stop at one batch.
Hey. At least they're small.

Meredith Springfield honored for community
work
By Frank Antosiewicz
PLASTICS NEWS CORRESPONDENT
LUDLOW, MASS. (Oct. 27, 5 p.m. EDT) -- Blow
molder Meredith Springfield Associates Inc.'s work
within the community is earning it plaudits and at the
same time is helping it to grow its business.
The firm was cited Oct. 25 as the Exemplary Business
Partner of the Year by Sunshine Village of Chicopee,
Mass., a nonprofit group that works with people with
developmental disabilities.
The arrangement has worked well, according to Mel
O'Leary, Meredith Springfield president and chief
executive officer.
"They do assembly, boxing, labeling and palletizing.
The scope of the operation allows us to add value for
the customer at a rate that we can afford.
Otherwise, it might have been work we wouldn't have
been able to do," O'Leary said.
"We've never had one quality control problem -
that's with hundreds of thousands of parts
processed," he said.
The arrangement has been in place a year, according
to Colleen Baker, director of employment services at
Sunshine Village. She noted that the organization's
work center keeps about 35 people employed doing
fulfillment work for different companies.
"Meredith Springfield has been wonderful to work
with. They are right down the street and their
personnel come in regularly and supply us with work
on a regular basis," she said.
Meredith Springfield employs 80. The 23-year-old
company has experienced steady growth, and
expects sales to rise 7-8 percent this year.
The company specializes in custom plastic bottles
and hollow technical articles. It makes food
packaging, household and industrial chemical
containers, and hollow items for the medical market,
business machines, foot-wear and PVC fencing.
O'Leary said the company occupies 35,000 square
feet of a 90,000-square-foot building, but plans to
exercise an option to buy the rest of the building.
The firm also employs prisoners from the Hampden
County, Mass., sheriff's office - pre-released
prisoners from a jail about two miles in the opposite
direction of Sunshine Village. In fact, Meredith
Springfield was honored by the sheriff's office last
year as its pre-release employer of the year.
O'Leary said that program also has been a success,
with 30 ex-prisoners having worked at the company.
"Between the Sunshine Village experience and the
partnership with the jail, they are just two things
Meredith Springfield does to put something back in
the community.
"It's been a very worthwhile way to help the
community," he said.

THE NEW ENGLAND PRODUCTS TRADE SHOW
RELOCATES
IN 2005-NOW UNDER ONE ROOF
FALMOUTH, ME, (December 2004) - The only show in
the country dedicated to presenting wholesale
giftware, home furnishings and specialty food
exclusively created within New England recently
announced a major move to a new location for the
21st annual event scheduled for March 19th - 21st,
2005 in Portland, Maine.
"We couldn't be more pleased to be able to offer our
buyers and exhibitors the convenience of one building
for the New England Products Trade Show (NEPTS),"
says Stefa Normantas, Show Producer. "In the past
with two buildings, some buyers have had to choose
between visiting one location or the other. The new
facility finally offers our buyers the opportunity to
see the full array of quality New England products
under one roof, as well as allowing us to expand to
Saturday hours. There's plenty of room for everyone
while still within easy access to Portland's most
inviting attractions. It's a great development for the
show."
The 21st annual New England Products Trade Show
relocates from the Cumberland County Civic Center
and the Portland Exposition Building to the newly
constructed Portland Sports Center (PSC) at 512
Warren Avenue in Portland, Maine
(http://www.portlandsportscenter.com/) The
PSC is
an indoor sports facility with more than 46,000
square feet of unobstructed space built in the "Rubb"
style. Show dates and hours for 2005 are: Saturday,
March 19th, 10am - 6pm; Sunday, March 20th, 9am -
5pm; Monday, March 21st, 9am - 4pm.
The New England Products Trade Show (NEPTS)
currently attracts more than 300 exhibitors and 2,000
buyers from around the country during the three-day
annual juried wholesale trade show
(http://www.nepts.com/) in Portland, Maine.
Known
for its quality, value, and creativity, it is the only
wholesale show in the country dedicated to

2/1
Nutrition is in the news everywhere. This
column is
brought to you by Foodlogics Consulting. MSFA
readers can feast on nutrition newsbytes, including,
but not limited to updates on government action
affecting food labels.
FDA's CFSAN Outlines 2005 Goals
In December 2004, The Center for Food Safety and
Applied Nutrition of the Food and Drug Administration
outlined its 2005 priorities, unveiling an ambitious list
of 123 "A-list" goals. Special emphasis will be placed
on issuing final rules for the four major areas of the
Bioterrorism Act of 2002. Industry can also expect
action involving egg safety, fresh produce, low-carb
labeling and food allergen warnings, among others.
The work plan is divided into sections, such as
Priority Ongoing Activities, Ensuring Food Safety and
Defense, Improving Nutrition and Dietary Supplement
Safety.
To read the letter outlining program priorities, go to:

2005 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee
Report
On August 19, 2004, the 2005 Dietary Guidelines
advisory committee submitted its recommendations to
the secretaries of the departments of Health and
Human Services (HHS) and Agriculture (USDA). The
report will serve as the basis for the 6th edition of

Trade Show Tips
On the eve of the Winter Fancy Food Show and with
many more to come, it is worth taking a few moments
and thinking about how to optimize the trade show
investment.
*Write down your objectives for the show
Ideally, assemble all those going to the show and
discuss the major objectives that you want to
accomplish at the show. These might include:
*Have meetings with specific key customers,
brokers, distributors
*Spotlight a new product or packaging
change
*Introduce new hires to key people in their
market
*Check out the greedy competition
*Write orders for specific new or existing
products with or without a show deal
*Attract the press - trade and consumer for
purposes of getting publicity for your product.
*Plan, plan, plan, plan, plan, plan ahead
*Make appointments 4-6 weeks out with the
people that you most want to meet with.
*Based on the purpose of the meeting,
determine whether your booth is the best venue or if
scheduling a breakfast meeting or dinner is more
appropriate.
*Make sure that you schedule a meeting with
each of your brokers OR have a broker sales meeting
away from the show floor.
*Make a schedule of who will work the booth
at what time for each day.
*Make a schedule of all appointments made
in advance of the show.
*Discuss where leads will be kept and who
will be responsible for them.
*Determine any special roles - e.g., who will
handle export inquiries.
*Decide if you will offer a show deal,
determine what it will be, create three-
part order forms.
*Network, network, network.
*Attend show social events, receptions.
*Try to schedule customers or brokers for
every dinner.
You are at the show, at great expense. Make every
hour count.
