Farmer Chef Direct Marketing Workshop - Twin Cities

Monday, January 7, 2008 10:00 am - 3:00 pm

MN Landscape Arboretum

Snyder Building Auditorium 

3675 Arboretum Drive
Chaska, MN 55318

FARMERS: Do you want to expand your market into restaurants, cafes, food services, institutions and distributors?

BUYERS: Are you interested in making new connections to purchase local products from farmers, producers and distributors?

Renewing the Countryside, Minnesota Grown, MISA, Green Routes, Heartland Food Network and Food Alliance Midwest, in partnership with local sponsors, are hosting three Farmer/Buyer Connection workshops in January with funding from a North Central Extension Risk Management Education grant. The workshops will have information sessions to assist farmers and food buyers to connect and explore best practices in working together, followed by the networking opportunity—a chance to forge new relationships for the 2008 growing season!

If you are a farmer interested in getting your product into a restaurant, grocery store or institution (school, hospital, etc.), or a food buyer for a restaurant or other institution, or someone working in food systems and would like more information on the got local? series of workshops, please call 612.871.1541 or e-mail Lindsay at lindsay@rtcinfo.org.
