We are looking for language to put in a contract with a large institutional
food service to require them to purchase products from local farms. Has
anyone had experience in this type of negotiations and if so could you
recommend key language to negotiate? Did you incorporate dollar volumes,
percent of sales, number of farms, or other goals/benchmarks? How did you
define the product - grown in state, by what size farmers? What about
products processed in the state, bought from local farmers - how did you
specify the amount of product purchased from local farms? We are interested
in actual experiences and contracts.
Thank you.
