Local Food & Cuisine
This course explores the local food system to better understand opportunities for local food business growth. The course focuses on utilizing local foods to create value-added cuisine for small scale producers such as direct marketing or restaurants. Farmers’ market shopping trips and local farm visits help students connect to the local food supply.
