[BCFSN] Fwd: FW: Registrations open - Feeding Growth Scale your Progressive Food Business Workshop Series

[Veronik Campbell]

Dear BCFSN family,



Something potentially of interest to some of you or your networks.
Registration for the 4th edition of the Feeding Growth - Scale Your
Progressive Food Business
<http://ubcfarm.ubc.ca/feeding-growth-scale-your-progressive-food-business/>
workshop
series is now open. The series dives deep into what it takes to
successfully grow a progressive food business, from how to build a
sustainable/organic/local brand, scale manufacturing, and access financing,
all that through a dynamic dialogue and mentoring from industry experts.



If you know of anybody who would be interested--a restaurateur who is
thinking of creating packaged goods, an entrepreneurial BC newcomer, a
friend of yours who sells really good jam at the farmer’s market--please
feel free to share the invite below or use the many, already prepared
facebook posts, pictures, and blurbs of our communication toolkit
<https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RcdglDdiXW2VChP4SyWrwyzpo27e1uUV>.



A warm thank you.
