I wanted to let you all know about an upcoming educational opportunity for new and beginning farmers called “ Getting Started with Selling to Schools and Hospitals”.  This webinar is part of an ongoing MSU Extension Beginning Farmer Webinar Series.  The series is designed for beginning farmers, but we encourage any growers who are interested in selling to institutions to attend this webinar.  More information below, also see attached flyer.

Topics will include: food safety requirements for institutional markets, wholesale pricing, strategies for communicating with food service directors, selling through a distributor or food hub, and available resources to help get you started.  

 

Questions and discussion will take place through the webinar 'chat' function. Supporting written materials will be available for download during and after the webinar.  Participants will receive the webinar URL after their registration and payment is received. A recording of the webinar will be made available to registered (and paid) participants within 10 days of the session.
