From Recipe to Market – Cashing in on Value-Added Opportunities

Two people, one holding a box of chocolates

Do your friends and family rave about your homemade chowder, blueberry jam, ice cream or other special food product? Do they say you should sell it and make a fortune? If you wonder if they’re right, and if you have the drive and personality to run a business then this course is for you. This workshop is for developing and taking your specialty food product to market.

This program is for individuals currently operating a value-added business or those seriously considering one. Participants must have a specific product or recipe in mind.
