Glasgow, KY seminar offers ideas for greater gardening income Growers interesting in selling fresh food products to high-end restaurants & consumers can learn more at this meeting in Glasgow, KY <>"This program is being sponsored by the Kentucky Entrepreneurial Coaches Institute, which I belong to," writes Barbara Armitage. "I met Tim Will while I was on a trip to North Carolina last summer - I spent the day talking with the farmers/growers/producers that participate in this program many with less than an acre in production. I was very impressed with their ability to harvest and deliver fresh fruits and vegetables to market in less than 24 hours. I think that Adair County could benefit from this program." Submitted by Barbara Armitage Gary (Doc) Hogan, working with the Kentucky Entrepreneurial Coaches Institute, will be sponsoring an informative meeting for growers interested in selling fresh food products to high end restaurants and consumers. The meeting will be held at the Barren County Extension Office Auditorium, 1463 West Main ST (MAP), Glasgow, KY, on Monday January 24, 2011, at 6pmCT. Please contact the Barren County Extension Office at (270) 651-3818 by Thursday., January 20, 2011, to register for this meeting. Farmers with crop acreages small and large can be involved in this concept. The delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables has become very expensive due to economic difficulties causing prices to rise sharply. Fuel cost affects transportation and production of food especially fresh fruits and vegetables which high-end restaurants, hotels, and consumers are desperate for. Local production with upfront payment and overnight delivery can be a system beneficial to both customers and producers. This program presentation is sponsored by the Kentucky Entrepreneurial Coaches Institute along with a grant from the Kentucky tobacco buy-out funds. These funds are targeted to help tobacco crop dependent counties grow. The agenda for the meeting will include two keynote speakers. Tim Will, Executive Director of Foothills Connect located in Rutherfordton, North Carolina, will present the business model that was used for Western North Carolina farmers. Dr. Lee Meyer, University of Kentucky Specialist for Sustainable Agriculture and Marketing, will also discuss marketing strategies specific to Kentucky growers.
