Growing up, I was continuously asked if I ever planned to join the family business. Time and time again, I would answer with a definitive “no,” as it would have impeded my plans to become the next Wayne Gretzky. However, as time went by and my hopes of becoming the next “Great One” slipped away,…

Dale Conoscenti
I came to Rhino for many reasons.

Martin Cauchon
When thinking about a college degree, I was leaning toward chemistry, but I felt that it wasn’t enough of an applied science for me. I stumbled upon Food Science and Technology while doing a tour of Université Laval in Québec City. I immediately fell in love with it. It is just the right combination of…
Lauren Weber
I moved to New Jersey after college, but soon decided that it wasn’t for me. When I came back to Vermont, I saw an opening for a Q.A. Technician at Rhino Foods. When I checked out the website, I thought to myself, “Who wouldn’t want to work in a company that makes cookie dough and…
