It will also touch on agritourism and other direct marketing opportunities.&nbsp; Participants at the workshop will work through a curriculum developed by a working group of buffalo producers with extensive experience in farmers\u2019 markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speakers will include National Bison Association Assistant Director, Jim Matheson, Nathan Stanbaugh of E3 Meat Co. in Baltimore, MD, and Pennsylvania Farm Markets Director, Brian Moyer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The workshop and curriculum are targeted to bison producers, but the information can be useful for people marketing other agriculture products as well. The session is open to all producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Matheson noted that most bison producers are small-scale and rely on direct marketing as an important part of their business. \u201cSmall-scale bison production is fairly common among producers in the eastern United States, so direct marketing is an important part of most bison operations. With the American public increasingly interested in knowing where their food comes from, there is a great opportunity for producers to connect with customers at farmers markets, through direct sales, and in offering agritourism events,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur workshop is intended to increase the ability of producers to connect with those customers,\u201d Matheson added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The workshop will run from 10 a.m. &#8211; Noon. &nbsp;Registration is $30 per attendee, but is free to all participants who are registered for the Eastern Bison Association conference. All participants will receive a take-home copy of the workshop curriculum.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More information is available on the National Bison Association website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bisoncentral.com\">www.bisoncentral.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The workshop is being funded through the Farmers\u2019 Market Promotion Program (FMPP) Grant Program, Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA, under No. 16FMPPCO0021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Workshop Set for Farmers\u2019 Marketers in Harrisburg, PA Bison Association Seeks to Strengthen Producers\u2019 \u2018Direct Marketing Skills February 14, 2019 Increasing profitability of farmers\u2019 market booths, on-farm stores and agritourism &#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
