Are you looking to diversify sales beyond the farmers’ markets, 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.
The Baskets to Pallets Workshops are designed for farmers of all types. From participating in this virtual workshop series, you will gain knowledge and skills that will help you successfully transition to wholesale marketing or to expand wholesale market sales for your farm business successfully.
This two-day workshop covers building relationships with buyers, customer management, record keeping, pricing, grading, packaging, uniformity and consistency, and food safety. It also includes opportunities for peer learning, small group discussion, and one break-out session for livestock and produce farmers.
The cost for the workshop is $50.00 per person. This registration fee covers the cost of materials that will be delivered to participants electronically. The workshops will be recorded and made available to participants.
