SUMMARY:Direct Market Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Direct marketing through on-farm stores\, farmers’ markets\, or CSAs can be extremely successful. Whether you’re already established or just starting to look at the logistics of direct market sales\, there is no substitute for peer-to-peer intelligence. We’re forming a cohort of graziers to swap successful sales strategies\, troubleshoot the logistics that didn’t go as planned\, and build a collective knowledge base that keeps us all competitive. If you’re looking to sharpen your retail operation or simply want to learn from those who have already navigated this\, your perspective is welcome! \n\n\n\nVirtual event!

SUMMARY:The Nitty Gritty Logistics of Shipping Frozen Meat
DESCRIPTION:Let’s get into the real logistics of shipping frozen meat for small- to mid-scale farms. Josh Morrison of Earnest Roots Farm in Alabama and Phil Bianci of Autumn’s Harvest Farm in New York have hands-on experience building and running state-wide shipping systems from the ground up. We’ll talk about calculating shipping costs\, packing with dry ice\, choosing your packaging\, navigating logistical challenges\, and more. \n\n\n\nThis Lowdown is for anyone considering shipping for the first time or looking to refine their systems. In addition to in-state shipping\, Josh and Phil will also share other regional distribution approaches they’ve tried–like freezer drops and same-day delivery systems–for more ideas for small farms with limited capacity. \n\n\n\nLearn more about this free webinar and other offerings from Good Meat Project here.
