Value-added Workshop Nov. 8th

You are invited to join us at the Ennovation Center (Independence) on Thursday November 8th from 5-9 pm for a workshop focused on creating a value-added food business.

"Well Done" is a two-part workshop geared toward existing food producers, those interested in developing a food product including small farmers, homemakers or those who have always wanted to work for themselves in a food-related business.

Part One will cover the basics:

    Get out of the kitchen- FDA regulations, labeling and food safety.

    Don't get burned- Planning your business and pricing for profits.

    Get on the shelf- Working with retail buyers and distributors.

    Get on the plate- Building a brand and moving your customers to buy.

Part Two: will go beyond the basics. We have brought together some of the regions most successful foodpreneurs including the founders of The Roasterie, Boulevard Brewery, Original Juan's and Shatto Milk to share their wisdom and start-up experiences with you.

Dinner will be provided.

This workshop is brought to you in partnership with the Ennovation Center, Lincoln University Cooperative Extension, and the Missouri Department of Agriculture.
