From HN3551@handsnet.orgTue Jul 30 18:30:34 1996 Date: Tue, 30 Jul 1996 12:30:35 -0700 From: Keith Richards Subject: 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: Keith Richards Southern SAWG PO Box 324 Elkins, AR 72727-0324 501-292-3714 HN3551@handsnet.org Connect Mail Sent: July 30, 1996 12:28 pm PDT Item: R00VS5t
