The Douglas County Food Policy Council has launched a study to examine the
potential for a food hub in our area that would link small to mid-sized farmers
with larger markets, to help increase farmers’ income and profitability.
If you are:
?An experienced farmer
?A new farmer
?Raise produce, meat, dairy, eggs or grain
?Produce corn, wheat or soybeans but want to diversify
?Sell at farmers markets and are thinking about expanding
?Want to produce more, but spend less time marketing…
… We want to hear from you!
Please join other farmers on November 13th in a discussion with Anthony
Flaccavento, a Virginia farmer and President of SCALE, Inc, who is leading this
study. For more information: www.douglas-county.com/sites/fpc
