The South Dakota Specialty Producers Association has announced a new educational series for local food producers, Farmers Markets managers and vendors, and others interested in selling direct to consumers.
“We are hosting training for producers to get together over the winter and plan for the summer 2021 season,” Kathleen Rykhus, SDSPA Local Foods System Coordinator said.
The classes will be live, interactive meetings with industry experts delivered virtually, on topics including production, food regulations, marketing, and bringing your product idea from recipe to reality.
“Several Farmers Market managers mentioned the need for more vendors and vendor education as being a priority to them,” Rykhus said. “Farmers Markets in South Dakota are looking for vendors and they want to set new vendors up for success.”
