Farmer-Buyer Connection Workshop

St. Croix River Valley

Thursday, June 26, 2008

1:00 pm - 3:30 pm, Hudson, Wisconsin

FARMERS: Do you want to expand your market into restaurants, cafes, food services, institutions and distributors?

BUYERS: Are you interested in making new connections to purchase local products from farmers, producers and distributors?

Renewing the Countryside, Land Stewardship Project and its St. Croix River Valley Buy Fresh Buy Local Chapter, River Market Community Co-op, the St. Croix River Scenic Byway and Minnesota Grown are hosting a Farmer/Buyer Connection workshop in Hudson, Wisconsin.

The workshop will provide information to assist farmers and food buyers in the St. Croix River Valley to connect and explore best practices in working together. The workshop will include a "speed-dating" inspired networking opportunity—a chance to forge new relationships for the 2008 growing season and beyond!
