The idea behind this series of programs is to provide Hudson Valley farmers with the business tools they need in order to foster and expand their wholesale and retail markets. Whether you are raising livestock, vegetables, hops, poultry or something different, we can help you define goals, set marketing and business strategies, and assist you with the necessary skills to expand your enterprise with a business-like approach. The five programs, each on a different day in March or April, are GAPs Training, Business Plan Development, Labelling Your Products, Marketing Strategic Planning, and Value Added Product Development.
