value-added information




Dear Angela Moskow and SANetters:

Angela, you asked if there are any publications on value-added
agricultural products.  Yes, the Southern SAWG has a publication
at the printers now called "MAKING IT ON THE FARM: Increasing Sustainability
Through Value-added Processing and Marketing." 

This 40-page booklet was written for farmers who want to take 
a bite out of the middlemen by bringing the dollars for processing, 
packaging, labeling, and marketing home to their farms, and 
for rural community leaders who want to encourage farm-based 
value-added businesses in their communities.  Compiled from 
interviews with Southern farmers and ranchers who are adding 
value to their products, it describes some of their practices, 
discusses 10 keys to success and includes a list of resources.

For further information about MAKING IT ON THE FARM, 
or to order a copy ($12.00), contact:
