The West Virginia Farmers Market Association, in collaboration with partners AceNet, West Virginia Department of Agriculture Business Development Coordinators, American National Insurance, and the Food and Farm Coalition, is excited to announce a Product Labeling Class. Supported by the USDA Farmers Market Promotion Program, this event is tailored for farmers, artisans and home-based food product businesses, aiming to enhance their presence in West Virginia’s farmers markets, festivals, and stores.
This session, set to take place at The Schoolhouse Hotel on May 5 from 1 to 3 p.m., is designed to educate participants on the essentials of product labeling and offer insights into branding, marketing, food safety, and insurance specifics. Our partnering agencies’ collective expertise will provide various resources, ensuring attendees have the tools and knowledge to successfully navigate the complexities of selling home-produced food products.
Offering not just invaluable information but also a locally sourced meal, this class is an opportunity not to be missed for home-based food entrepreneurs looking to expand their horizons. Free to attend, it underlines the commitment of the West Virginia Farmers Market Association and its partners to nurturing the local food economy and supporting small business growth.
