Are you looking to diversify sales beyond the farmers' market, CSA, and farm stand? Food hubs, grocery stores, restaurants and cooperatives are looking for your products to meet growing consumer demand for local and sustainably produced food. However, successful business with wholesale buyers requires planning and preparation.
Ensure your success by joining us for 'Baskets to Pallets,' a comprehensive two-day introduction to selling your farm products wholesale.
The 'Baskets to Pallets' course is designed for farmers of all types. This two-day workshop covers building relationships with buyers, customer management, record keeping, pricing, grading, packaging, uniformity and consistency, as well as food safety. Hands-on activities and opportunities for peer learning and small group discussion, along with one break-out session for livestock and produce farmers, are included.
The cost for the workshop is $50.00 per person. This registration fee covers the cost of morning refreshments and lunch each day. Space is limited to 40 participants, so early registration is encouraged. Register here. For assistance with registration, contact Dara Boudreaux at 518-765-3518, or tff24@cornell.edu.
