Well Done—Starting a Food Business

Independence, Missouri

8 November 2012-9 November 2012

5:00–9:00 p.m. Event price: $15. This two-part workshop is ideal for existing food producers, those interested in developing a food product including small farmers, homemakers, and those who have always wanted to work for themselves in a food-related business. First, we’ll cover the basics: FDA regulations, labeling, and food safety; planning your business and pricing for profits; working with retail buyers and distributors; and building a brand and moving your customers to buy. Next, we’ll go beyond the basics and hear from some of our region’s most successful “foodpreneurs.” The founders of The Roasterie, Boulevard Brewery, and Shatto Milk will share their wisdom and startup experiences. Dinner is provided. REGISTRATION REQUIRED? YES REGISTRATION WEBSITE: bit.ly/TGlwDf EVENT SPONSORS: Ennovation Center, University of Lincoln Extension, Missouri Department of Agriculture
