See if you can find a Slow Food group nearby and find out which
restaurants they frequent. Donate some produce for one of their events, and
then be there to talk up your farm. Check if there are any chefs involved
in the Chefs Collaborative around. Any colleges or corporate accounts
that Bon Appetit Management services? They took over food services for a
college nearby and they’re really focused on utilizing local produce. Read
the food column in the newspapers and follow-up. Are there like-minded growers nearby that you can work together
with on restaurant accounts? Coordinate who will grow which crops and
service the accounts with joint availability lists, delivery and invoicing. Visit the chefs with your favorite seed catalogs and ask what
they want you to grow. My two cents… Marcy SE Colo, grasshopper zone From:

[mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of TxBeeFarmer Hope some of you can share
your wisdom and tricks of the trade with me. I have a wonderful five acre
garden and my 40' cooler is overflowing with fresh produce. My problem is
sales, or should I say lack of sales. Oh sure, there's the
Farmers' Market and a few people who want some things delivered, but I need
real sales! |
