About
MARKET DEVELOPMENT: CREATING NEW MARKETS FOR FAMILY FARMERS IS KEY TO BUILDING LOCAL FOOD SYSTEMS AS MORE THAN 99% OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS CONSUMED IN AMERICA ARE PURCHASED THROUGH WHOLESALE CHANNELS.

THE PROGRAM INCLUDES OUR WHOLESALE SUCCESS AND DIRECT MARKET SUCCESS MANUALS AND OUR FOOD SAFETY BINDER, AND IS DESIGNED TO HELP SMALL AND MID-ACREAGE FRUIT AND VEGETABLE FARMERS WITH ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES THEY FACE: GROWING THEIR BUSINESSES. THIS PROGRAM GIVES FARMERS THE RESOURCES AND TOOLS THEY NEED TO MAKE SURE THEIR PRODUCE IS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY, TO MANAGE FOOD SAFETY AND OTHER RISKS, AND TO NURTURE THE RELATIONSHIPS WITH CUSTOMERS THAT THEY NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL. EACH TRAINING WORKSHOP CAN BE CUSTOMIZED TO MEET LOCAL GROWER NEEDS. 2. LOCAL FOOD PROCUREMENT: FAMILYFARMED WORKS TO BUILD THE OVERALL SUPPLY CHAIN OF LOCAL FOOD BY PROVIDING TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO FARMERS, CONNECTING WHOLESALE BUYERS WITH PRODUCERS, AND HELPING TO CREATE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT SUPPORTS THE GROWTH OF THESE SYSTEMS.
