Is your farm or food business considering including a new value-added product line to your mix such as canned, dried or frozen items? When discussing this possibility there are many options to pursue, such as co-packing, private labelling, building your own facility or renting offsite commercial space. While there are similarities across these production options, each possibility has differences that affect your business such as: who is making the product, who owns the recipe, what records you need to keep, startup costs and more.
The session will be led by Flip Filippi, Local Food Program Leader and Harvest Kitchen Manager with guest Jori Wekin, Founder of Hub on the Hill in Essex County.
This online session is well-suited to individuals or businesses who are considering creating a value-added product. There will be time for questions during the workshop and each participant will leave with a clearer understanding of which production option might be best suited for your situation.
