Buyer Outreach Session for Grower-Owned SW WA Food Hub

February 11, 2021 @ 3:30 am - 5:00 pm

Free

On February 11th from 3:30-5pm via Zoom, the farmer-owned SW WA Food Hub is conducting a buyer session to teach buyers more about the food hub to help buyers improve their marketing of local purchasing and to better understand what buyers need from the local farm community. Do you need to source carrots for your juice bar? Specialty meats for you restaurant? Or local beauty products for your retail store? We are here to connect you with local producers in our community.

The Southwest Washington Food Hub is part of a farmer-owned cooperative, comprised of individual farmers, with the goal of connecting the community (individuals, restaurants, institutions, other) with the highest quality, healthy, local foods you need to help your business thrive.

The Food Hub improves buyer access to local products by having one-stop online shopping, delivery options in participating counties, and single-point of payment across multiple farms and value-added products. You know which farm you are buying from, so you can support your favorite producers and correctly label your local goods! To learn more about our farmer cooperative and online sales platform, please check out our website at swwafoodhub.com. If you are interested in attending the email, please email info@swwafoodhub.com for the Zoom invite. Or find SW WA Food Hub on Facebook for the event page.
