The Buy Local Buy Wisconsin Workshop Roadshow will start in January, with the first series titled, “The ABCs of CSAs.” To register and for more details, please visit https://onlineservices.datcp.wi.gov/confreg/blbwworkshop.jsp

The workshops will be in East Troy on Monday, Jan. 17th, Viroqua on Tuesday, Jan. 18th, and Menomonie on Wednesday, Jan. 19th.

Barb Perkins, of Vermont Valley Community Farms, and Laura Frerichs, of Loon Organics, will discuss the process of starting, expanding, and improving CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture). These two farmers will touch upon start-up considerations, financial management, share planning, marketing, succession planting, member involvement, distribution, communication, member retention, balancing multiple markets and more. The combination of Barb and Laura’s perspectives will provide a full picture of the unique challenges and considerations of running viable, successful CSA operations.

The cost to attend either the Viroqua or Menomonie location is $30 for the first registration, and $15 for any additional registrations in that party. The cost for the East Troy location is $40 per registration. Lunch is included at all locations.

For more information contact Theresa Feiner at theresa.feiner@wisconsin.gov or (608)224-5112.

Additional Buy Local Buy Wisconsin workshops will be offered in early 2011, including “Selling to Retail” in February and “Selling to Institutions” in March.
