2023 Farmer Education Workshop Series: Value-Added Products in the Community Kitchen

When: Tuesday, November 28 from 2 – 4 pm

Where: SAHC Community Farm, 180 Mag Sluder Road, Alexander NC 28701

“Making More from Your Produce”

During this workshop, we will meet in SAHC’s certified, commercial-grade kitchen.

The kitchen provides a resource for farmers in our Farmer Incubator Program and community members to prepare a variety of value-added products. Not sure what you want to produce? The SAHC V.A.K. (Value Added Kitchen) is an affordable option if you are wanting to test products as well!

By offering value-added products, farmers improve their economic productivity and extend their market season through the entire year. Community Farm Manager Chris Link will lead the workshop, explaining the elements of the kitchen at SAHC’s Community Farm, steps involved in creating a value-added product, and how to get started producing.

Just after this workshop, participants will have the option to stay afterward for the Food Safety and Kitchen Sanitation Class, the first step in accessing the kitchen for your own production.

The workshop is free and the food safety class costs just $30. This workshop is open to the public; everyone is welcome!

Registration/Questions: Contact Chris Link at Chris@appalachian.org or 828.490.2565. Pre-registration is required; space is limited. Rain or shine.
