FamilyFarmed.org has teamed up with two organizations in Michigan (along with many other organizations in over a dozen other states) to offer Wholesale Success, an intensive seminar that will cover topics of interest to producers seeking to enter or enhance their success in the wholesale marketplace. Much of the information will be useful at any scale of production or marketing. Wholesale Success will teach best practices in food safety, post-harvest handling, and packing produce. Participants will have the opportunity to meet with various buyers, and they also will receive a copy of FamilyFarmed.org’s Wholesale Success Manual. The 312-page manual includes more than 100 crop profiles with crop-specific information on harvesting, cooling, storing, and packing according to industry standards. Please pre-register.
