Tenants
Terrenew’s Dr. Gary Harman
prepares for the 2010 SBIR conference
Our First Graduation
Donna and Bill Collins, owners of Cole & Parks restaurant and the geniuses behind Mrs. Fields Cookie Dough Snacks and one of the Technology Farm’s first tenants has moved to the next level. Donna came to the Tech Farm with a wonderful idea, eatable cookie dough. We all enjoyed the opportunity to test each change right down to the drizzle stage. We watched with satisfaction, her segment on QVC, knowing that everyone would now have the chance to taste what we have become addicted to. But with that we now have to say good bye to our first graduating company.
While it is the goal of the Park to provide enough space and amenities to help our enterprises to grow and leave the nest, we hate to see them go. Congratulations to Donna and Bill on their “Spirit of Innovation Award” and good luck with this wonderful innovation. You can find Mrs. Fields Cookie dough Snacks at Wegman’s , and the Mrs. Fields stores.
