To Organic Listserve Members (Sincere apologies for cross posting), I wanted to make you aware of a change in an upcoming workshop, "Selling Produce Direct to Institutions," hosted by MSU Extension in cooperation with the Food System Economic Partnership (FSEP). This workshop will not only provide a good general overview of the practices and procedures that make you marketable to larger institutions, but will also give you information about how to connect with state and federal institutions looking to purchase produce from growers. A pdf brochure is attached. (If your e-mail server is unable to open the attachment, feel free to click the following link http://www.msu.edu/~tocco/Selling_Produce_Direct.pdf verified 1-19-09) The deadline for this workshop has been extended to January 23rd. You may preregister via telephone or inquire about the workshop at (517) 788-4292.
