Attend the Workshop
In the spring of 2009, a series of workshops will be held in Albemarle County that will provide information and training on how to start and operate a food-based business in Virginia. The program aims to increase the quality and quantity of regionally produced food and value-added food products as a means to incorporate sustainable agriculture into our local economy. The curriculum will include the following topics:
How to comply with Virginia food processing and food safety regulations
Which inspections and certifications are recommended or required for which products
When food products need to be analyzed and evaluated
How to market and sell locally-made products
How to develop business plans and manage bookkeeping
Panel discussions featuring successful food producers and retailers looking for locally made foods
And more!
The VAFEP will also develop a free downloadable handbook, as well as resources and website links, covering the content of the workshops that will be available through this website.
