Join us October 19, 2019, in Milton for the inaugural Local By Local: A Food & Farm Conference & Expo. The free event will feature local producers and industry experts leading sessions in business management, farm financials, diversifying your income, marketing and selling your story, and navigating regulations. In addition, the event will include a networking social, exhibition hall and a free locally-sourced lunch.
Come share your experiences around the table. This is a chance to learn from your neighbor about new opportunities to sell your products or to develop new ones. Come gain insights and hear from others in the industry. Other topics that will be discussed include management and leadership, navigating social media platforms, regulatory questions, and finance strategies.
The Local By Local Farm and Food Expo is a collaboration between The Wild Ramp, Unlimited Future Inc., Turnrow Appalachian Farm Collective, Refresh Appalachia, RCBI Institute, and WVDA. These organizations are committed to seeing local food grow and thrive in southwestern West Virginia and beyond. These organizations and more will be facilitating panel discussions around a variety of topics to help farmers, food entrepreneurs, restaurateurs, service providers, and educators see where there are opportunities to make more money and sustain the local food system in our region.
