Marketing Specialty Crops at Food Hubs Food Hubs provide an important connection between producers and the opportunity to connect with larger consumers. If you have seen one food hub, you have seen one food hub; there are all unique! Below are a few food hubs and guides to working with food hubs Eastern Market Food hubs support local farmers and offer unique, healthy specialty crops. Buying from these hubs not only supports small businesses but also provides access to the best produce. Kalamazoo Valley Community College Food hubs offer an excellent avenue for marketing and distributing specialty crops. These hubs provide a unique opportunity to showcase the diversity and quality of regional produce by bringing together local farmers and consumers. The Local Grocer Local grocery stores offer a unique opportunity to connect with specialty crop producers in your area. By sourcing your produce locally, you can support small businesses and offer your customers fresh, high-quality products. Don't miss out on the chance to build relationships with your community and provide them with the best possible shopping experience. UP Food Exchange The food hub is dedicated to providing a wide range of specialty crops that are grown right here in the Upper Peninsula. From seasonal produce to value added products UP Food Exchange supports the local food system year round. Marketing Specialty Crops at Food Hubs Specialty crops are unique! Food hubs can be a great way to connect specialty crop growers with local consumers and businesses. By partnering with food hubs, growers can increase their visibility and reach new markets, while consumers can enjoy fresh, locally grown produce. Food Safety at Hubs Food safety is important in all aspects of the food system and in food hubs maintaining a solid food safety plan is crucial to providing safe and healthy produce. Food Safety Certification for Food Hubs Food safety is important in all aspects of the food system and in food hubs maintaining a solid food safety plan is crucial to providing safe and healthy produce. In addition to having a plan, certification may be a requirement. There are many different certifications and having the right one is key! Wholesale vs Retail Sales for Specialty Crop Farmers Business models are fluid and it is beneficial for farmers to periodically look at their business model to discern when it is time to seek new sales channels. Selling specialty crops wholesale means asking yourself some questions about your business. Some growers begin their business selling wholesale. Others opt for a direct sales venue like a farmers market or farm stand and find out that they are unable to sell all their product during set market hours. Life changes that take a grower away from the market could also be a reason to consider a switch. People may be unable to build considerable time for developing relationships at a farmers market. As experience grows so does the predictable stream of quality produce and as this happens, it may be time to consider selling larger amounts all at once, or wholesaling. Template Sales Sheet for Specialty Crop Producers Marketing your product takes time and a lot of work to gather your inventory. Being able to present your product in a standardized form helps navigate potential confusion on pack size and specs.

Regresar a la Conferencia Shara Trierweiler Storytelling Session I am Shara Trierweiler, the owner of Agape Organic Farm. I run the farm with my children and when not farming I work as a social worker. Farming is therapeutic for me because I love the science behind it and I especially enjoy cultivating mushrooms and raising animals. I grew up on the island of St Lucia and my Grand Uncle Gabriel Charles was an environmentalist and forester. Recognizing my affinity to animals and science, he took me under his wing and I spent much of my early childhood and youth trekking rainforests with environmentalists, biologists and geologists. This gave me a deep seated love for nature and environmental stewardship. However, due to pressure from my mother I went to business school instead. In 2013 I meant a woman livestock farmer at the Ohio State Fair and she changed the trajectory of my life. She introduced me to the organic movement which then propelled me into living out my dream of farming in 2017.

MIFFS es una organización sin fines de lucro en todo el estado con la misión de conectar a los agricultores principiantes e históricamente desatendidos entre sí y oportunidades de recursos; garantizar la justicia social, la administración ambiental y la rentabilidad. Aprovechamos asociaciones estratégicas y altamente colaborativas para crear y habilitar redes de pequeñas granjas urbanas y rurales que dan lugar a un sistema alimentario local resiliente. Nuestro trabajo apoya el desarrollo de negocios agrícolas empresariales sirviendo como puente entre los recursos de los proveedores de servicios del USDA, el conocimiento de los expertos en la materia y la sabiduría de diversas comunidades en todo Michigan. A medida que el MIFFS crece para adaptarse a las diversas necesidades de nuestras comunidades, también brindamos asistencia en forma de diversos servicios. A través de nuestras reflexiones sobre nuestro plan estratégico, conversaciones con nuestros miembros y observaciones en los campos, estamos construyendo nuestros servicios para apoyar mejor al comienzo e históricamente a la población de agricultores en Michigan. La seguridad alimentaria ha sido destacada en los últimos años, Michigan Food & Farming Systems (MIFFS) se ha enfocado en educar a los agricultores, especialmente aquellos con operaciones pequeñas y diversificadas, sobre cómo las actualizaciones y regulaciones de seguridad alimentaria los comentarios y cómo pueden implementar planos de seguridad alimentaria en sus propias granjas. Con más compradores minoristas y mayoristas que ahora requieren certificación de inocuidad alimentaria, lo que significa que un productor que vende a ese comprador debe completar una auditoría de inocuidad alimentaria, normalmente conocida como auditoría GAP (Buenas Prácticas Agrícolas), muchos productores se sienten abrumados. Este proceso requiere el tiempo del agricultor para implementar los cambios y mantener registros que demuestren que se mantienen las prácticas de inocuidad de los alimentos, más el costo de la inspección para obtener la certificación GAP. Puede ser un tema aterrador e intimidante, pero nos esforzamos por dividirlo en mordiscos más manejables con nuestros talleres a lo largo de los años. MIFFS ha organizado talleres de inocuidad de los alimentos en las granjas y simulacros de auditorías para dar a los agricultores una idea de cómo es realmente el proceso y los resultados son los obstáculos frecuentes, especialmente para las granjas que cultivan muchas variedades de frutas y verduras.
