Event Details

So you might want to finally turn your food craft or product idea into a business.

Or maybe you're just wondering how your favorite food products get made and why do they cost so much?

Kick off the New Year with this fun interactive discussion

--which will also help me refine my workshop idea!


Share your idea, learn the options, and realities of starting and running a sustainable specialty food business.


We will review and sample 3 different jams (or similar products) and discuss how they were made, the ingredients, and packaging affects the price you pay. You will leave with an appreciation of what goes into making the foods you love. 


For those thinking about starting a business, you'll receive a list of resources for your next steps!
