Retail Farm Market School: Penny Packer Farm and Education Center
Join us for a tour of this urban farm and explore their successful Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) marketing model. Penny Packer Farm utilizes a post-harvest handling method adaptable by most any sized farm and they have several years’ experience using a CSA to market their extensive mix of produce. You may be interested in how they grade, wash, pack and distribute their weekly farm production. We will also learn about the challenges and opportunities of maintaining and growing a customer base.
Join us for this chance to learn from each other! Seasonal farm refreshments will be shared. This event is an ideal way to enhance your retail farm marketing skills. Bring a partner, employee, or neighbor.
