food

If you are a food grower, you probably always have your radar on, listening out for new ideas on developing food ventures, opening up new markets for your products, thinking of new products or even the possibility, perhaps, of on-farm tourism.

This Thursday there is an opportunity to hear firsthand from four people with experience in developing what Northern Rivers Food calls ‘Alternative paths to new markets’.

Deb Allard of Cheeses Loves You set up a new dairy in Burringbar. Johnson Hunter of The Farm has learnt a few lessons in The Farm’s first two years of trading, Andrew Cameron from Byron Creek Farm has set up a new chicken- meat business.

All three will talk about their experiences, and Jane Laverty from the NSW Business Chamber will also offer her top tips for dealing with councils. And you can ask questions, have some nibblies and you get a couple of drinks.

Thursday 6 April 5.30–8pm at The Old Bakery, Harvest Newrybar. Bookings https://register.eventarc.com/37779/nrf-qa-alternate-paths-to-new-markets
