As the season gets underway, many farms are feeling overwhelmed by the many tasks that come with the start of the growing season.

To the lighten the load, we created “Selling to Restaurants: A Farmer’s Guide” to help you profitably sell to restaurants.  Whether you have been selling to this type of business for years or are just getting started, you will find some helpful advice, sourced from farms and other insider experts, that you can implement immediately. The guide contains interviews with two local food companies having great success in this specialized wholesale channel.
