Join us for the MarketReady Producer Training: Boone County
Training Information: The MarketReady Producer Training Program is an educational program for farmers and producers, processors, county extension agents, or anyone interested in selling their farm products (fresh produce, value-added items, etc.) to restaurants, grocery stores, schools, and/or wholesale distributors.
This national program, developed by the University of Kentucky's Cooperative Extension Service, provides participants with tools for business success. After attending this training, farmers and producers should possess a sense of assurance regarding the expectations set forth by potential buyers (restaurants, grocers, schools, etc.).
