In the Local Food Fine Print, we interview food buyers to learn how farmers can access their market and improve relations with buyers. The focus is on intermediate markets like co-ops, restaurants, food hubs, grocery stores, etc. Plus, we discuss details like insurance, food safety, volume requirements, and more. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-azleAxfuibg/WwRWTH7TAWI/AAAAAAAACC0/W82vmqatm4o0cwWw2a6UFkOgSEgQb8bPwCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/small%2Bfarms%2Blocal%2Bfood%2Bfine%2Bprint.pngIn Episode 6, I continue the conversation with Colleen, Kitchen Manager at the Blue Heron in Winona, MN.
The Blue Heron incorporates a lot of locally sourced produce and meat on their menu, we discuss communication, farmer check-ins, size specifications, pricing, deliveries, and sourcing.
