Matt LeRoux, Ag. Marketing Consultant who has over 20 years of experience in marketing, will be the speaker at this workshop. Matt works with a diverse mix of produce and livestock farmers and food businesses.

Join us for the Profitable Meat Marketing workshop to find out if you are covering all your meat marketing costs-including your TIME-and bringing in a profit.

In the workshop, you will learn how to develop your farm's marketing strategy and how to set specific marketing objectives to make your job easier. In addition to marketing tips, you will learn about Cornell Cooperative Extension's Meat Price Calculator. The calculator uses your farm's data to develop pricing for meat sold by the hanging weight or by the cut. It accounts for processing and marketing costs, allows you to build in a profit, then lets you adjust the pricing of each cut until you reach your goal. Finally, you will learn more about navigating the MeatSuite, a free website to help your farm reach consumers seeking local meat in bulk.

Register and pay for meeting with a credit card with the link above. A link to the Zoom meeting will be emailed to the address you provide at registration on Friday, April 24 after 3:30pm.  Note this link is for registered users only, please do not share.
