Research Assignment

Market Exploration

In this lesson, students will use the internet to research three local farmers and/or growers that produce food products and/or grow useable organic ingredients within a 300 mile radius of the college. Students are encouraged to consider local farmers market vendors and the Buy Fresh Buy Local network as initial supply sources. Students will identify local sources that could become potential partners, producers, and/or suppliers of raw materials to produce a value-added fermented food product for the value-added foods market place. Please use the information obtained to answer the discussion questions.
