The Tallahassee Farmers Promotion Program was designed to assist the greater Big Bend area in the development of local food microenterprises among disadvantaged populations, improve networking among farmers, food producers and food retailers, and establish commercial processing facilities, all of which will contribute to a diversification of the local economy in both product and proprietor. The additional aspect of food rescue will provide healthy food options for communities of need at low-to-no cost while reducing waste on the farm and at the markets.
This program will consist of a series of 20+ interactional educational workshops focused on providing educational, development, and coaching opportunities to farmers in the greater Big Bend area to assist them in developing their agricultural business.
