SUMMARY:Summer Field School '22 Class #3: Aggregation/Distribution
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Appalachian Harvest for a class on Aggregation and Distribution services and more. Season extension provides early and late harvests\, winter harvests\, and longer harvest windows. These techniques also offer pest and disease control. These opportunities translate into more income. \n\n\n\nFounded in 2000\, Appalachian Harvest is Appalachian Sustainable Development’s rural food and herb hub. Following the federal deregulation of tobacco production\, many local farmers found their incomes drastically reduced and wanted alternative crops to capitalize on their experience and existing resources. Our food hub assisted growers by transitioning them from tobacco to produce\, allowing them to remain on their family farms. \n\n\n\nOur team works shoulder to shoulder with small to medium-scale local farmers\, helping them get their goods to market. We provide GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) certification training\, assist with organic certifications\, and provide them with much-needed\, year-round technical support. Our team also secures retail orders from various wholesale markets and provides aggregation and distribution of locally grown produce from Maryland to Georgia.
