About the Webinar
Growing great food is only half the battle to achieve farming success. You also have to be an effective marketer. As the 2011 growing season winds down for many farmers, the cooler months provide a great opportunity to plan and prepare for next year’s marketing efforts. This webinar is designed to help small to mid-scale farmers who market directly develop a useful and cost-effective marketing plan.
